On October 8, Beijing time, the Badminton World Federation announced the world ranking list for the 41st week of 2024, and the Chinese team won the world first in all five individual events.
In men's singles, although Shi Yuqi's record in the next few tournaments after the Paris Olympics was not too ideal, he still beat the two-time Olympic champion Axelsen with 99,315 points to the top of the list. In women's singles, although Chen Yufei temporarily left the arena after the Paris Olympics and did not participate in any more competitions, last week's No. 1 Korea star An Zeying also hung up the free card, plus the latter earned more points in the same period last year, after being deducted points including last year's China Open Championship, Chen Yufei with a more than 1,300 points advantage to return to the "queen of the ball" throne.
The Men's and Women's Doubles are somewhat similar, with Leung Wai Hang/Wang Chang and Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan holding on to the world number one spot as their main rivals have not earned as much points on the recent BWF Tour. In mixed doubles, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong has not participated in the Paris Olympics since the Paris Olympics, but the two have a very obvious point advantage, plus the world second and third are also from the Chinese team Feng Yanzhe / Huang Dongping, Jiang Zhenbang / Wei Yaxin, I believe that for a long time to come, the badminton mixed doubles world No. 1 throne will still be firmly occupied by the Chinese team.
The last time the Chinese badminton team won the world No. 1 in all five individual events was 12 years ago, when the five individual world No. 1 were Lin Dan in Men's Singles, Wang Yihan in Women's Singles, Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng in Men's Doubles, Tian Qing/Zhao Yunlei in Women's Doubles, and Xu Chen/Ma Jin in Mixed Doubles. After 12 years, the miracle of winning the world No. 1 in all five individual events was staged again, and the national feather showed a strong "endurance" ability and dominance. Interestingly, 12 years ago, when he won the world No. 1 in all five individual events, there were three individual Olympic champions of Lin Dan, Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng, and Tian Qing/Zhao Yunlei, and now the world No. 1 in five individual events is also three individual Olympic champions, namely Chen Yufei, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong, which has a somewhat "metaphysical" flavor.
