The world of badminton doubles is set to witness intense competition at the Olympic Games in Paris 2024. Let's take a look at the top five women's doubles pairs who have been making waves in the badminton circuit with their exceptional skills and determination.
**1. Pair 1 - Born: 1997/1997. Right-handed / Left-handed**
This pair of four-time world champions has strategically chosen their tournaments, participating in only six events and clinching two championship titles. Their recent victory in the French Open final against Shida/Matsuyama showcased their resilience and why they are a formidable force aiming for better results than their silver medal achievement at Tokyo 2020.
**2. Pair 2 - Born: 2000/1994. Right-handed / Right-handed**
Among the few pairs capable of defeating Chen/Jia, this duo proved their mettle in the Indonesia Open final. Hailing from South Korea, they concluded their excellent preparation phase for Paris by winning the All England and Asian Badminton Championships titles.
**3. Pair 3 - Born: 2004/2003. Right-handed / Right-handed**
The Chinese duo of Liu/Tan has shown remarkable progress in recent years, securing two titles, including a Super 1000 event in Malaysia. As they enter their third year at the peak of their careers, they have consistently outperformed top pairs, signaling their dominance in the badminton arena.
**4. Pair 4 - Born: 1997/1998. Right-handed / Right-handed**
Despite not clinching a title this season, the Japanese pair impressed by reaching three finals. Their epic battle with Chen/Jia in what may be considered the highlight match of the season at the French Open displayed their championship potential, even though they succumbed after holding five match points.
**5. Pair 5 - Born: 1995/1996. Right-handed / Right-handed**
The two-time world champions have participated in seven tournaments this season, with their best performance being the victory at the India Open in January. Although they faced setbacks against Chen Qing Chen/Jia Yi Fan in all three encounters this year, their strong showings in the French Open and Indonesia Open semis reflect their confidence for the upcoming Paris Olympics.
With the 2024 Summer Olympics approaching, these top five women's badminton doubles pairs have set the stage for an exhilarating showdown. As they gear up to battle for supremacy on the Olympic stage in Paris, all eyes will be on these talented athletes to see who will emerge victorious and etch their names in the annals of badminton history.
