Tokyo Olympics: Chinese Player Chen Yufei Won The Women’s Badminton Individual Gold Medal.
Tokyo Olympics: Chinese player Chen Yufei defeated world number one Dai Ziying 21-18, 19-21, 21-18 on Sunday to win the individual gold medal in women’s badminton.
Chinese player Chen Yufei won the women’s individual badminton gold medal on Sunday, denying Taiwan’s second consecutive night of success in the sport. The night before, Taiwan won the gold medal in the men’s doubles competition and won its first Olympic badminton medal. But Chen made sure that there was no repetition in the women’s singles, beating the world number one Dai Ziying 21-18, 19-21, 21-18 to win the championship. In the last marathon rally, Tai shot the net and Chen fell to his knees and roared at the rafters.
“I had to close all my emotions about this game and go all out,” he said.
“I’m very happy, I think I did a good job.” In men’s singles, the World Cup Denmark’s second-ranked Victor Axelson overcame a tight start and advanced to the finals, ending Guatemala’s underdog Kevin Co.
Den is unlikely to win the championship. Cotton, ranked 59th in the world, performed surprisingly in Tokyo, but Axelson was too calm for him in the end, winning the semifinals 21-18, 21-11.
The Danes will face the defending champion Chen Long from China in the final on Monday and are happy to win the top two after winning the bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
“Obviously I” want more than just a final, it is not enough for me,” Axelson said. A few hours later, I will be very happy and proud, but now it is just a relief.
It was the first time the two players met. Corden’s unorthodox style caused Axelsen some trouble at the beginning.
“His playing style is very unstable,” Axelson said.
“He is very aggressive, his shots are tricky, and he has some unusual shots, but the quality is good. So it is difficult for me to increase the speed high enough.” Corden still has a chance to play against Indonesia’s Anthony West on Monday.
Nisuka Ginting won Guatemala’s second Olympic medal in the bronze play-off. “I had a chance in the first set,” Colden said, his hometown of Guatemala fascinated by his performance in the semifinals.
“I took the opportunity to try to play faster than him, or tried to use my spiking attack, but there were some easy things. Of course, for this elite player, it is not easy to score easily.” In the other half of the game After beating Jin Ting 21-16 and 21-11 in the final, Rio champion Chen had the opportunity to emulate the Chinese badminton legend Lin Dan and win the Olympic champion back to back.
“I didn’t think about my strategy too much, because preparing to enter the semi-finals, I just need to execute it,” Chen said. “Because I haven’t participated in international competitions in the past year and a half, I don’t know.”
