 China have come much more prepared this time in badminton. After winning only 2 events in the past two Olympics, now they could get 3, even 4. Only the men's singles is out of their reach for me.

I think Shi Yu Qi has more chance to win the gold then Chen Yu Fei. Or do you see Victor winning his second gold?

Yes, i have Axelsen going over Shi Yuqi if they meet in the final. Even Antonsen could give him a run for his money in the 1/2. I think the Danes are a bit awkward opponents for him. 

 

Women's singles is of course far from certain, but if i had to choose which one China could win, i would pick the women.

And our streak of having atleast one SF in each BWF World Championship/Olympics continues. Last time we didn’t have one was in 2010 Paris World Championships.

Well, Shi just got demolished by Vitidsarn, so there won't even be a showcase with the Danes

Antonsen could also have a tough time today with Lee Zii Jia

Did not expect that. 
Maybe we will not get a Chinese gold medallist in the women's also. An Se Yeong just seems better to me than Chen. Maybe Carolina too (hopefully not).
