Chinanews Client, August 2nd. On August 2, Beijing time, the national feather women's doubles Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan lost 0:2 to the Indonesian combination of Polly/Rahayu and won an Olympic silver medal.
As the traditional strength of the Chinese badminton team, from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics to the 2012 London Olympics, the national badminton women's doubles won five consecutive championships.
However, after the Rio Olympic Games fell into a trough five years ago and missed the medal, the National Feathers Women's Doubles had a big exchange of blood, and the young and immature "Fan Chen" combination was quickly pushed to the front of the stage.
The past glory of Guoyu Women's Doubles and the attention that rose instantly made Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan at a loss.
They said: "In 2016, we were still very ignorant. We didn't know how to win the championship or how to maintain a high level."
However, shouldering the heavy responsibility of recreating the glory of the National Feathers Women's Doubles, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan, who have been pairing since 2014, quickly provoked the lead without even having time to hesitate and hesitate.
So, if they fell, they stood up and encouraged each other; if they won, they summed up their experience and set off again.
The combination of "Fanchen" rushed all the way and ushered in the spring that belonged to the two of them.
Won the World Championships in 2017, won the Asian Games in 2018, won the Sudirman Cup together in 2019, won 6 championships in the season, and ranked first in the world...
"We watched each other's little progress until today." Chen Qingchen said.
The efforts of the two people blended into the moments of time, and Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan also grew from an ignorant teenager to the No. 1 main force of the Guoyu Women's Doubles.
Coming to the Tokyo Olympics, the mentality of the “mortal dust” group should be more peaceful.
They said: "When we stand on the court, we enjoy every game and we are very happy to show our level."
It was also because of the light outfit that the two men smashed their opponents all the way to the final.
However, in the face of well-prepared Indonesian veteran Polly/Rahayu, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan were finally defeated.
A silver medal has exceeded the expectations of the national feather women's doubles before the game, and it has also planted a seed of hope that is more worth looking forward to.
In five years, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan have climbed to a high point that few people can reach; and the peak that belongs to them may not be far in the future.
