BWF World Junior Mixed Team Championships: China Crowned Champions for the 11th Time

China once again emerged triumphant at the BWF World Junior Mixed Team Championships, establishing themselves as champions for an unprecedented 11th time. Dominating the competition over the past four days, the defending champions secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Malaysia in the final at Bilbao Arena in Spain. Fielding an unchanged lineup from their semi-final showdown against Japan, China displayed efficiency and skill in winning the Mixed Doubles, Men’s Singles, and Women’s Singles matches, ultimately retaining their crown.

Malaysia’s impressive journey in the tournament, which included victories against Indonesia in the quarterfinals and Thailand in the semi-finals, came to an end against China’s formidable team. China’s resilience and ability to handle pressure proved to be the deciding factors in the match. Malaysia Team Manager Dato Syed Abu Bakar Abdullah graciously acknowledged China’s superiority, stating, “They were better than us, and they deserve to be champions.”

China’s path to victory was made slightly smoother due to the injury-induced withdrawal of Malaysia’s Men’s Singles player, Lee Zii Jai, who was replaced by Leong Jun Hao. However, Sun Feixiang of China proved to be too strong for Leong, securing a crucial point for his team. Despite some resistance from Malaysia in the Mixed Doubles and Women’s Singles matches, China’s young guns, He Jiting, Du Yue, and Chen Yufei, showcased their talent and determination to secure victory for their team.
