The badminton women’s doubles final at the Paris 2024 Olympics was an all-China affair, with the world’s top-ranked pair, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan, squaring off against their compatriots, Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning. In a match filled with high drama and exceptional skill, it was the experienced duo of Chen and Jia, known as “FanChen,” who claimed the gold medal.

The first set was a hard-fought battle, with both pairs refusing to give an inch. Chen and Jia narrowly won the set 22-20, setting the tone for the rest of the match. In the second set, they quickly built a substantial lead, going up 10-4, and maintained their dominance to win 21-15, securing the gold.

For Chen and Jia, this victory was the final piece of their career Grand Slam, having won all other major titles in the sport. Their gold medal also marks China’s return to the top of women’s doubles badminton, a title the nation has not held since the 2012 London Olympics.

This win is particularly significant for the FanChen pair, who were runners-up at the Tokyo Olympics, where they took home the silver medal. Now, they have finally captured the Olympic gold, fulfilling a long-held dream and solidifying their legacy as one of the greatest women’s doubles teams in badminton history.
