On Friday, August 2, Team China’s badminton players Huang Yaqiong and Zheng Siwei competed in the mixed doubles competition at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 against Team South Korea’s Kim Wonho and Jeong Naeun.

Huang Yaqiong and Zheng Siwei ultimately beat Kim Wonho and Jeong Naeun (21-8, 21-11), winning gold. Yet, Yaqiong received not only gold but also a diamond.

After Yaqiong celebrated with the medal ceremony, fellow Chinese badminton player Liu Yuchen surprised her. Previously, Yuchen won a silver medal in the men’s doubles competition at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and most recently competed in men’s doubles during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
