Satwik and chirag are drawn along world no.1 indonesian pair in mens doubles badminton

 

In one way its good that even if they finish second in their group they will avoid this pair until finals

How is it good to have World number 1 in the group?

 

They cannot even cross group stage.

Olympic Badminton Draw is out

Men's Singles: Sai Praneeth is in Group D with  Mark Caljouw and  Misha Zilberman. The match against Caljouw is tricky but Praneeth should win. He is then expected to meet  Ng Ka Long in the Round of 16

 

Women's Singles: PV Sindhu is in group I with  Cheung Ngan Yi and  Ksenia Polikarpova. Again the  match is tricky but Sindhu should win. She is expected to meet  Kim ga Eun in Round of 16

 

Men's Doubles: Perhaps the toughest draw as Satwik-Chirag pair are in Group A with  Minions, World no 3  Lee Yang-Wang Chi and  Sean Vendy-Ben Lane.

Ridiculous, how come 2 seeded teams be in the same group? There are 4 seeds and 4 groups in Mens Doubles?

The Taipei team is currently peaking... Their Olympic rankings aren't in top 4

 team was ranked 6th in Race to Tokyo. So, they along with , the second  team and  were unseeded. Group D also has 3 teams in top 10:  and . Group B has  and  alongside , all three are good. I think we have clear favourites only in Group C where I think  and  are much better than  and . What is different is our group doesn't have a weak team. 

[Siddhartha Talukdar 263]

In Doubles, except for the Pan American, African and Oceania pairs, all of them are fairly competitive. But perhaps there should be 8 seeds instead of 4 to make all the groups fairly equal
