CBA splits Di Zijian/Wang Chang and forming two new partnerships, Di/Huang KX and Liang Weikeng/Wang.
Hard to evaluate how good they are, the last tournament they particpated was World Championships, lost tamely to JPN #2 Koga/Saito in Huelva. BWF report
I really respect the forward thinking of the Chinese coaches. They have the guts to split well-established pairs with the future in mind. Hats off.
China's World Junior and Asian Junior Champion, Di Zijian Reportedly Involved in Match Fixing https://www.badmintonplanet.com/bad...-zijian-reportedly-involved-match-fixing.html =========================== ~ A shocking news to reveal this 21 years old has match-fixing issue...
https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1m...tag=s_i×tamp=1645020392&unique_k=XCwWQLP 2021 Chinese National Youth team championship. The third set of the match between Zhu Xuanchen ( Hubei) and Liu Chenxi ( Beijing). Zhu Xuanchen came out 10th behind Liu Liang in the national trials in which Sun Chao came out fourth. The boy in red is Zhu, probably born in 2004. The 2022 version took place this afternoon. Saw the livestream on Justfun . There is a repeat streaming right now as I type, the buffering is horrible, though. Watch the match played by Pan Yinlong, born in 2006. Watch also the 6-footer of a girl, Sun Zichun in the girls singles. She was 7th in the National trials, born in 2004.
Who become third in national trials?? Also what are positions of dong tian yao and liu liang in national trials??
Men: 1. Sun FX, 2, Lei Lanxi, 3 Li Shifeng, 4. Sun Chao, 5. Wang Zhengxing, 6.Dong Tian Yao, 7. Gao Zheng Ze, 8.Zhang Weiyi, 9. Liu Liang, 10. Zhu Xuanchen. I had posted this before. Here is the match between Sun Chao and Zhu Xuanchen (in red) when they played in category B. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV11T4y1u7J9/?spm_id_from=333.788.recommend_more_video.-1
CHN MS is facing gravest challenge to awake with SYQ absence (many speculations about his premature retirement) and Chen Long semi-retired status (will call quit after AG 2022), current hope will rely on Lu GZ & Zhao JP as Li SF, Sun, Lei, etc. world ranking are too low to participate BWF tournaments (except team event, S100 & satellite tournaments : IC, IS, FS).
Due to career ending injuries to lin guipu, song xue and sun feixiang: last chinese bous singles world junior champion not upto the expections worsen things further.
The main reason why this happens is because players like LSF, WHY, SFX, LLX and GJF have not played many tournaments in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. China is fighting the virus like it is fighting a real war. The health and livelihoods of the people are more important than an Olympics MS Gold medal in Paris. It is not that they have not won the MS Gold medal before. Besides they can always win Gold Medals in Swimming, Diving, T Tennis, Weight lifting, Shooting and Gymnastics, maybe even in Badminton in one of the other categories. Meanwhile enjoy the first set of the match between two tall girls using the link below. Both are born in 2004.The taller one is Sun Zichun. Hope she doesn't end up like Sun Yu. https://haokan.hao123.com/v?context...BdboxShare=1&pd=share&vid=2334860178416429288
What are the heights of these two girls?. There was a mention about 190 cms. I don't know which girl is 190 cms. But yellow shirt girl is really agile compared to Sun Yu. If she is really 190 cms, then she must be the tallest of all the players excluding vladimir Ivanov and some Denmark players.
Here is the link to the second set. Just found it. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1C...tag=s_i×tamp=1645116703&unique_k=OWg6MmB According to this video it is 1.86cms. It is still too early to know how the two girls will progress. They will play in the WJC. Thailand has a youngster who is also very good.
