Yesterday morning, the 2024 French Badminton Open ended in Paris. The Chinese team ended with a triple crown. Shi Yuqi won the men’s singles championship, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan won the women’s doubles championship, and Feng Yanzhe/Huang Dongping won the mixed doubles championship. This year’s French Open is also an Olympic test event. From July 27th to August 5th, the Paris Olympic Games will determine the five gold medals in badminton at the same competition venue, La Chapelle Porte Arena. The main national badminton champion hopes to copy the results at the French Open in July. Olympic venues.
The Porte de La Chapelle is a newly built competition venue for the Paris Olympics. It can accommodate nearly 7,000 spectators and will host two major events: badminton and rhythmic gymnastics. The area where the stadium is located has gathered a large number of homeless people in recent years, and the security situation has not been ideal. The official hotel for this Olympic test event is located near the venue. Some participating teams lost their luggage as soon as they arrived, and some athletes encountered the embarrassing situation of their room door being suddenly opened in the middle of the night.
The Chinese team sent all its first-line players to participate. While continuing to compete for Olympic points, it also took this opportunity to adapt to the Olympic competition venue. The Porte de La Chapelle has four competition venues. During the week-long French Open, the absolute main force of the national badminton team got the opportunity to compete in each venue, and everyone gradually understood the differences in wind direction and lighting at each venue.
Chen Yufei, the country’s number one women’s singles player who failed to reach the semi-finals, revealed that she had participated in four games and had a certain understanding of the Olympic venues. She also carefully summarized and wrote down the details. Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan, the top women’s doubles team in the country, staged a huge reversal in the final. They pulled from 15-20 to 24-22 in the deciding game and finally defeated the Japanese pair Chihiro Shida/Nami Matsuyama. Jia Yifan revealed that during the entire test match, she and Chen Qingchen competed at different venues almost every day, quickly becoming familiar with the venue and getting into the zone. They lamented that it was not easy to come back and win the championship, but they were confident that they could perform better in the Olympics. Shi Yuqi defeated Thailand’s Kunlawutt 2-0 in the men’s singles final and won his second Olympic title of the year. He hopes to replicate the results of this competition at the Olympics in July.
