The 2022 Badminton World Championships will be held in Tokyo, Japan from August 22 to 28.

The Chinese badminton team will set off for the competition from the domestic and the training bases in Chiang Mai, Thailand on August 18. They will compete in the remaining 4 events except men's doubles.

Guoyu's goal is naturally to be able to hit the gold medal in 4 individual events, but at present, mixed doubles have the best grasp, women's singles and women's doubles have hope, and the possibility of men's singles winning the championship is relatively slim.

  Guoyu's actual men's singles number Shi Yuqi is back from the ban. Although this will be his first competition this season and his status is unknown, judging from his previous records, he is still the strongest among the Chinese men's singles players participating in the World Championships this time. Strong, he and some coaches and officials will travel to Tokyo from China to join most of his teammates from Chiang Mai at the venue.

Other athletes who have been competing in Southeast Asia for three months to participate in the World Championships will fly from Thailand to Tokyo.

  In addition to Shi Yuqi, the national feather men's singles players Lu Guangzu and Zhao Junpeng have won the right to participate in the World Championships. Together with Shi Yuqi, the three players are all outside the 20th place in the world rankings.

Although the probability of winning the championship is not entirely based on rankings, no one can enter the TOP16, which is still very embarrassing, especially Shi Yuqi and Lu Guangzu are in the same half as the Olympic champion and now the Danish master Anselm. It will be very difficult to advance to the semi-finals.

Zhao Junpeng's recent performance has also been unstable. Although he avoided Ansailong, the second half is also full of experts. In short, the men's singles cannot be optimistic.

  The men's doubles pairs of the Chinese badminton team finally failed to wait for the opportunity to play off the bench, and will collectively miss the World Championships. This is rare in the history of the Chinese badminton team participating in the World Championships.

In the other three individual events, Guoyu has the opportunity to enter the championship.

  Especially in the mixed doubles event, the separate and combined "IELTS" combination Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong are currently in a 30-game winning streak of six consecutive championships in various competitions. They are invincible.

It is a pity that the two and their teammates, the Tokyo Olympic gold medalists Wang Yilyu/Huang Dongping, are in the upper half, so the national feather mixed doubles loses double insurance before entering the final.

  In women's singles, Olympic champion Chen Yufei will lead four teammates, and Tai Tzu-ying of Chinese Taipei will be a big test for Chen Yufei in the semifinals.

As for other foreign players, the host's Akane Yamaguchi will also be the main opponent of Guo Yu to win the championship, and South Korea's An Se Young is another main contender.

India's Sindhu was absent, and Spain's Marlene took a big step back. This time Guoyu ushered in the best chance of winning the women's singles title at the World Championships.

  In women's doubles, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan are striving to defend their title. Although their performances have fluctuated this season, they are still the women's doubles players with the best record in the international badminton world in the first half of the year.

However, Guoyu's women's doubles draw is not very good. The "Fanchen" combination and Du Yue/Li Wenmei, Liu Xuanxuan/Xia Yuting are all located in the upper half, and only Zhang Shuxian/Zheng Yu are guarding the lower half.
