The Chinese Badminton Association on Wednesday announced the 20-person roster for the upcoming Hangzhou Asian Games.
Seven gold medals are up for grabs in the men's and women's team events, men's singles and doubles, women's singles and doubles, and mixed doubles. The roster comprises 10 males and 10 females registered in all seven events.
China won three gold medals, one silver, and two bronzes in the last edition in Jarkata. The three golds came from the men's team event, women's doubles and mixed doubles.
Leading the roster are men's singles world number five and ten, Shi Yuqi, Li Shifeng; women's singles world number three and five, Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao; women's doubles world number one, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan; and top-ranked mixed doubles pair, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong.
The male team underwent major changes; only three played the last edition, and the rest are debutantes. Meanwhile, the female squad remains mostly unchanged compared to five years ago as they eye the women's team event title after losing to Team Japan 3-1 last time.
Full list:
Male: Shi Yuqi, Li Shifeng, Lu Guangzu, Weng Hongyang, Liang Weikeng, Wang Chang, Liu Yuchen, Ou Xuanyi, Zheng Siwei, Feng Yanzhe
