Event Preview

1. China is competing in five finals today, aiming to secure at least three gold medals and possibly four or five. Do you think they can achieve this goal?
2. In mixed doubles, Jiang Zhenbang and Wei Yaxin are very strong and expected to overcome their opponents easily, securing the gold medal.
3. Chen Yufei should be able to defeat Akane Yamaguchi in the women’s singles final, provided she is healthy. She appeared to injure her foot last night playing against An Se-young. I believe she will compete in good health and secure the gold.
4. The women’s doubles pair Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning, currently ranked number one in the world, are capable of defeating their opponents and clinching the gold.
5. In men’s singles, Shi Yuqi faces a very strong opponent, Kunlavut. Shi might not be guaranteed the win but should not be underestimated; he has the ability to fight for this gold medal.
6. In the men’s doubles final, Chen Baiyang and Liu Yi have already exceeded expectations by reaching the final. Kudos to them. Their opponents are long-time champions with extraordinary strength, making this gold very difficult to obtain. We hope Chen Baiyang and Liu Yi can play freely and reclaim this gold medal.
