Badminton in China

China continues to dominate table tennis at the Paris 2024 Olympics, having won a significant majority of medals since the sport's Olympic introduction. Notably, players of Chinese origin are representing various countries, with many having migrated to nations like France and the USA, further diversifying the competition. Meanwhile, Thailand celebrated its first Olympic medal in Paris, a silver in badminton by Kunlavut Vitidsarn, as Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin expressed pride in the team's performance. Conversely, India’s badminton players faced disappointment, with PV Sindhu exiting the tournament early and the men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty failing to meet expectations, marking a stark contrast to past Olympic successes. Additionally, Japanese teenager Tomokazu Harimoto is being recognized as a rising star in table tennis, indicating a potential shift in the sport's competitive landscape.
