the national badminton championships is hosted by the chinese badminton association and organized by the shenyang sports bureau. the event has five events, with many olympic games, world championships, and world youth championships champions competing on the same field. after the opening ceremony, the participating athletes officially debuted in the preliminaries. as a two-time olympic games and four-time world championships champion, former national player zhang nan is undoubtedly the most watched contestant on the scene. the 34-year-old zhang nan retired from the national team in 2022, but he still insists on training with the beijing team and participating in various domestic competitions.
during the competition, zhang nan had a strong psychological quality and a strong ability to read the game. in an interview, zhang nan said, "the weather in shenyang is relatively cool. my current condition is not bad, but i don't have as systematic training as young people. i hope to adjust myself through more competitions. i also cherish every opportunity to participate in competitions." at the same time, zhang nan also sent a message to young athletes, hoping that they would lay a good foundation, which is very important. "like grip, pace, movements, etc., only by laying a good foundation can the future get better and better." zhang nan said.

hu chaowei, a doubles player of liaoning badminton team, said in an interview, "it feels great to compete in my hometown. friends and family will come to cheer us on, which makes me very motivated." in hu chaowei's view, competing with olympic champions and world champions can give young players more training and accumulate valuable experience. "i am considered an old player in the team and i have to play a role in mentoring. this time i am competing at home, i hope to cooperate well with my teammates and work hard for the top four."
