The magnificent national anthem once again sounded on the court, in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, in the badminton Sudirman Cup final.

The champion belongs to the Chinese badminton team! On May 21, when the game entered the second round of the third set of women's singles, the three hour duel ended with Chen Yufei's 22-20 victory over An Xiying of the South Korean team. So far, the Chinese team defeated the South Korean team 3-0 on the total score, and finally won the Sudirman Cup. This is Guoyu's battle to defend the crown, and it was successful; This is also the third time that Guoyu has won the championship of this event in a row.

Sudirman Cup is the highest level competition of badminton mixed groups in the world, which was founded in 1989. In the 18th tournament, the Chinese badminton team won the cup 13 times, creating impressive achievements, demonstrating excellent strength, and encouraging generations of Chinese badminton players to fight for the team and honor.

The results are exciting, and the way to win is exciting. In the group match, the Chinese team faced three different opponents, all of whom won easily by 5:0, and won the first place in the group. It can be said that the first half of the match schedule was easy and smooth. However, after entering the semi-final, the Chinese team encountered great challenges. At one time, we stood on the edge of the cliff. After a big score, from a 1:2 backwardness to a 2:2 equaliser, and then to a 3:2 promotion, the Chinese badminton team showed a strong will to fight for seven hours. Especially in the semi-final, the Chinese team combination Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi scored 6 points and saved 4 match points at the last moment, which won the valuable opportunity for the Chinese team to fight more bravely and win again. This process, to a large extent, shows that the Chinese badminton team has good comprehensive quality, strong team cohesion, and great potential for young players.

The highlight is not necessarily to win, but to survive. In this competition, the team members of Guoyu have repeatedly faced the ups and downs of losing one game first and then turning over successfully. The audience also followed the process of "falling behind, catching up, falling behind, catching up, pushing back and winning", witnessing the team members' use of skills, tactics and spirit on the field, interpreting the value of "never giving up" and releasing the power of "winning in the face of difficulties".

Competitive competitions, especially team competitions, are more competitive than strength. As Zhang Jun, President of the China Badminton Association, said, "The team that is more energetic will have a higher chance of winning the championship." Whether it is adversity or adversity, in the field, we need to seize every opportunity and turn small opportunities into big opportunities. For each team member, victory means "keeping your own point"; For the team, victory is "every point, every ball". As long as the ball does not land, we should go all out to win the final victory.

It is the outstanding quality of the team of Guoyu and the consistent demeanor of Chinese sportsmen that they can not defeat, do not give up, and are good at fighting. When people see that the tenacity of the fight to the last moment has resonated in and out of the competition field when the wind turns against the wind again and again, it can't help but remind people of such scenes: table tennis player Liu Guozheng saves seven match points and reverses the game; At the Athens Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team reversed and won the championship; At the Beijing Olympic Games, the women's judo final of 78kg or above, Tong Wen won the championship in the last 18 seconds. The moments of perseverance and courageously undertaking the mission fully demonstrated the responsibility of the Chinese athletes to "shoulder the mission, struggle with me", and demonstrated the good style of Chinese youth in the new era, fearing hardships, fighting high, striving for excellence, and winning glory for the country. This will certainly encourage more people to make persistent efforts and forge ahead bravely to achieve new and better results with an upward attitude and the quality of solidarity and cooperation.

A new journey begins, and it is invincible. The Sudirman Cup is the first point match of the Paris Olympic Games, and the Chinese badminton team also started the journey of Paris with victory. We believe that taking this as a good start, and playing well in every race and game, Guoyu will win new and greater honor for the motherland and people in the new era and new journey!
