Badminton athletes to watch at Paris 2024
Viktor Axelsen of Denmark is dominating the men’s singles competition. He went on to win his second world title in 2022 after winning gold at Tokyo 2020. Anders Antonsen, his teammate, will also be a favorite. Momota Kento, a double world champion from Japan, will be looking to get back on track after failing to advance past the first round at Tokyo 2020 as the top seed. As Kevin Cordón demonstrated at the most recent edition of the Games, there may also be surprises. He reached the semifinals, despite being ranked 59th in the world prior to Tokyo 2020, and demonstrated that hierarchy does not matter at the most important sporting event in the world.
Carolina Marin, a Rio 2016 gold medalist, will try to win a second Olympic title in the women’s singles competition. In 2022, the Spanish shuttler won her sixth European title, but she was unable to advance past the quarterfinals of the World Championships that same year. At the Worlds, Yamaguchi Akane of Japan defeated CHEN Yufei of the People’s Republic of China, the defending Olympic champion, to take home the gold medal.
After earning silver at Tokyo 2020, the Chinese women’s doubles team of CHEN Quingchen and JIA Yifan won gold at the World Championships 2022. They, along with the Republic of Korea’s KIM So-yeong and KONG Hee-yong, who finished second at the World Championships, will undoubtedly be among the favorites for Paris 2024.
