In the badminton match of the Paris Olympics, Shi Yuqi lost in the contest with Kunlavut and finally lost 0-2 to the semifinals.
However, this match Shi Yuqi gave people a feeling that they could rest, and in the previous match, Shi Yuqi's doubles partner also lost the match.
This match also caused a very big setback for the Chinese badminton men's singles players.
This is also the result of the Chinese men's badminton players stopping in the semi-finals of the Paris badminton tournament, a result that will go down in history as it seems to mark the failure of the Chinese men's badminton singles to reach the top four again.
In the 2004 Athens men's singles competition, Lin Dan won the gold medal, which means that this is the first time in 20 years that no Chinese badminton men's singles player has been able to enter the top four.
The men's singles at the '06 World Championships in Osaka lost miserably.
Looking back at the men's singles match in Athens 20 years ago, the competition was fierce and suspenseful, and the final was played between Lin Dan and Korea's Lee Hyun-il, both of whom were very top nationalities and very strong.
But in the end, it was Lin Dan who defeated Li Xuanyi to win the gold medal and became the pinnacle of his country's men's singles strength in one fell swoop.
Then to the 08 Beijing Olympics, Lin Dan once again defeated the Indonesian star Sony to win the gold medal, the national feather also created brilliant results in this period, from 08 to 14 years, the Olympic Games can see the figure of the national feather every time, and you can see the national feather players fighting the field.
At the beginning of 14 years, the Korea Badminton Association called the national badminton "low period".
From this time on, the men's singles, which is the strength of the national feather, gradually began to decline.
Although by the time of the 16 Rio Olympics, Chen Long of the national feather successfully won the gold medal with his super strength.
But at the beginning of the 20 Tokyo Olympics, the men's singles of the national feather once again had a "low situation".
In the event, Chen Long lost 0-2 against India's Narendra and stopped in the quarterfinals, and even the first seed in the men's singles Chen Long failed to get a good result, which greatly disappointed Guoyu.
This event was also the worst result for the national team in 20 years, although the provincial coaches of the national team in the men's and women's singles and women's doubles discussed that the poor performance of the national team at the Tokyo Olympics was largely due to the epidemic.
Under the influence of the epidemic, the national feather has no way to carry out targeted and high-density training, and it is impossible to maintain an orderly competitive state, which will undoubtedly affect the state and strength of the national feather players.
Despite this, the coach of the national team has made reasonable arrangements for the players to ensure that they can recover in the upcoming events.
But in the end, it still failed to achieve the desired effect.
Although four years have passed since the Tokyo Olympics, the competition is still unforgettable.
The first two quarter-finals of the men's singles at the Paris Olympics were lost.
Before the start of the Paris Olympics, Shi Yuqi's match with Kunlavut had already attracted a lot of attention, and although Shi Yuqi lost this match, he still returned to the field with his best result in four years, which made everyone look forward to the next competition.
However, it is obvious that everyone's expectations for Shi Yuqi have been disappointed.
Prior to this, in the four duels between Shi Yuqi and Kunlavut, Shi Yuqi won the first two games, but in this game, Shi Yuqi lost to Kunlavut and stopped in the semifinals.
Although Shi Yuqi lost the game and stopped in the semifinals, when looking back on this game, it is not difficult to find that Shi Yuqi's form and the match between Kunlavut are not on the same level.
In the post-match analysis, the reasons for Shi Yuqi's loss to Kunlavut were also analyzed and summarized in detail, and some potential problems faced by domestic badminton teams were also discovered.
"The national feather men's singles has not stopped at the semi-finals for 20 years, and this situation is a little worrying."
Shi Yuqi was interviewed after the game, and mentioned in the interview: "From this point of view, the competitive pressure of men's singles is indeed too great, and it can no longer be compared with before."
In the semi-finals, Shi Yuqi and Kunlavut lost 12-21 in the first game of the competition, although he was already far behind, but Shi Yuqi did not give up, but showed full fighting spirit and perseverance in the second game.
In this game, although Shi Yuqi lost to Kunlavut, he was full of perseverance in this game.
In the first two games, although Shi Yuqi's strength was very tenacious, he did not turn the tide of the game and still lost the game with a score of 12-21 10-21.
Shi Yuqi said in the post-match interview: "From the first game, I was attacked fiercely by Kunlavut, whether it was smashing the ball or other technical use, I was still a little uncomfortable with this."
For the first time in 20 years, he did not reach the semi-finals of the Olympic Games.
It can be seen that in Shi Yuqi's heart, he still has a lot of regret for losing this game.
Looking back at the Olympics in Athens, it was also the year when Shi Yuqi was not yet born, and that year Serena Williams won the second gold medal by overwhelmingly defeating Serena.
After Athens, Chinese badminton set off a relatively large wave in the history of the Olympic Games, and in the next five Olympic Games, Chinese badminton players were very strong in terms of strength and momentum on the field, full of confidence, pressing step by step, and finally won the game.
However, since the 06 World Championships in Osaka, Chinese badminton will face greater challenges and difficulties.
In the competition at that time, the national feather men's singles player Zhou Jihong lost to the famous player from Hong Kong, China.
This moment also shows that the strength of the national feather men's singles is no longer conflicting, and no player has won the men's singles championship since then, and no player has advanced to the semi-finals, or even qualified for the final.
This also shows that the men's singles has been in a slump, although the women's singles players have been showing strong on the court, and even won two gold medals in the next two Olympic Games.
However, the men's singles has never been able to get out of the slump, and now the national men's badminton team has not reached the semi-finals for a long time.
At the Athens Olympics, the national feather had illusions, after all, the strength of the Chinese men's badminton team was still very strong, but he didn't expect to encounter counterattacks in the next games.
This also made the national feather men's singles no longer able to stand in the first position.
With the end of the Tokyo Olympics and the Paris Olympics just around the corner, the national team is also very much looking forward to seeing new hope in Paris.
Unfortunately, they didn't.
epilogue
This also makes people feel sorry, is it really necessary to wait until the three Olympic Games to usher in a spring breeze?
In a post-match interview, Shi said: "I've been battling my opponent since the first game, and I'm taking this fight seriously, even though I didn't win, I tried my best."
The national feather men's singles is also facing a test, maybe they need to find the same person back then, or they need to have a leader who can lead the national feather out of this low period.
In any case, the girls and boys of the national feather have been working hard, looking forward to seeing them in the next Olympic Games.
