The 2019 Badminton World Championships was the worst in 24 years

The 2019 Badminton World Championships will continue to be held in Basel, Switzerland today. Chen long, the 30-year-old Rio Olympic men's singles champion and the only one in Guoyu's men's singles, lost two straight sets to the 22-year-old star antonson of Denmark in the quarter finals this morning. In this way, Guoyu achieved the worst result in the men's singles field in the past 24 years. The last time the team missed the men's singles podium was traced back to the 1995 World Championships in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Guoyu men's singles lost at the starting line in Basel. As early as before the start of the game, Shi Yuqi, the most powerful man, was accidentally injured and had no choice but to withdraw from the game. He won the second place in the Nanjing World Championships last year and beat the virtuous taotian in the Sudiman Cup final this year. He is Guoyu's hope. Shi Yuqi was injured and retired, which greatly reduced the strength of Guoyu men's singles in Basel. Huang Yuxiang traveled in one round, and Lin Dan and Lu Guangzu were out in the second round. In the top 32 men's singles, Guoyu only has the third seed Chen Long who is in poor condition recently.

Chen Long fell all the way after winning the title in the Rio Olympic Games. His best result this year is the runner up of the Malaysian Open. In the three-stop open in Indonesia, Japan and Thailand before the world championships, he encountered two one-round trips, and his best result was to stop the second round. After Guoyu Dumiao broke into the top 32, Chen Long won two players of China Hong Kong team, Li zhuoyao and Wu Jialang. Although the process was bumpy, he finally got through to the top eight.

Chen Long's opponent in the quarter final is 22-year-old Danish star antonson. Previously, Chen Long's record against Anton Sen was five wins and one loss, but he was looked down on by his opponent. After the draw, some badminton commentators in Denmark thought it was a lottery, because Anton suffered the weakest Chen Long among the seed players, and had a good chance to reach the top four and lock the medal. As a result, Chen Long was defeated in two straight innings and had no chance to advance to the top four.

The men's singles field of the current World Championships has also become a hotbed of coldness. Among the players who advanced to the top four, except that the number one seed and the Japanese team's kendou Toyoda are hot to win the championship, the other three are promoted by eliminating opponents with higher seed status than themselves. Wang Gaolun of Thailand and panet of India made history and became the first athlete in the history of their country to win a men's singles medal in the badminton world championships. An Dongsen also set his best score since the competition.

He failed in the world championships before the Olympic Games, and set the worst record in 24 years. The prospect of the Tokyo Olympic Games of Guoyu men's singles is worrying. At present, Shi Yuqi, Chen long and Lin Dan are fiercely competing for two Olympic seats. Shi Yuqi, 23, has the strength to impact medals. Lin Dan and Chen long, over 30, obviously do not have the upper hand in the competition with other young competitors. No matter who can finally enter the Olympic Games, they may not be able to escort Shi Yuqi.
