World No. 3 Chiyo Shida/Naomi Matsuyama, who participated as the third seed this year, performed well in the top four, defeating Chinese opponents Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan, who won the gold medal at the Paris Olympics 21:17, 21:10, and advanced to the women's doubles gold medal match at the Asian Championships for the first time in their careers. Despite winning silver in the gold medal match, she still set the best record of her career in women's doubles at the Asian Championships.
After yesterday's game, Chiyo Shida also posted on Instagram: "Although I am inevitably a little unwilling in my heart, I have really learned a lot during this period. Also, I'm sorry for worrying you during the race. ”

Before the start of this Asian Championship, Chiyo Shida once broke the news in Chinese in IG news that every time he and Matsuyama Nami came to China to compete, they would be hurt by stalkers, and it had lasted for a year and a half, which made her feel very uncomfortable and scared.
Chiyo Shida also expressed his gratitude in the article: "During the competition, thanks to the assistance of the organizers and the staff of the hotel, I was able to spend every day with peace of mind and focus on the competition. Once again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all those who have helped. Also, thank you to the fans who have always supported me, whether it is the warm message or the cheering sound at the venue, thank you very much! ”
