However, Malaysia's Tina was injured while saving the ball and the match was suspended for emergency treatment. After the match resumed, both teams played dozens of consecutive shots in one round, which ended with Chen Qingchen's kill going out of bounds. In the end, the "Fandang" team played steadily and took the deciding game with 21-15, breaking into the Olympic final again with a score of 2-1.
In the final of the women's doubles in the last Olympic Games, the "Fandang" team was defeated by the Indonesian team and won the silver medal. This time they will once again attack the gold medal, for the Chinese badminton team to fight for higher honor.
