　　After the Tokyo Olympics was postponed for one year, Chen Yufei, who was further precipitated, easily passed 2:0 in the two group matches, and the quarterfinals also defeated South Korea's An Xiying 2:0.

　　The opponent in the semi-finals was He Bingjiao, who defeated her teammate twice in the simulation match in the team, but this time, she won without risk.

　　In the final, facing Dai Ziying, who she had always regarded as the target, Chen Yufei became the winner once again, standing on the top of the Olympic podium.

　　The award to Chen Yufei was the badminton star Li Lingwei, who once trained Zhang Ning and Gong Zhichao.
