The World Badminton Championships draw has been announced, details are in the image below. Shi Yuqi, Chen Yufei, and other Chinese players are all competing, with their eyes on the championship. The event will be held in Paris, France from August 25 to 31, 2025.

The men's singles draw is finalized, details are shown below. Shi Yuqi, Weng Hongyang, Li Shifeng, and Lu Guangzu occupy the upper half, with main rivals including Popov, Lanier, and Naraoka Kodai, who are not significant threats to the Chinese players; the Chinese team is sure to reach the final from the upper half. There are no Chinese players in the lower half, so a complete Chinese sweep of the top two spots is impossible.

The women's singles draw is also confirmed, as shown below. Chen Yufei is the sole Chinese player in the upper half, facing competitors like An Se-young, making it difficult for the Chinese team to hold that section. Gao Fangjie, Han Yue, and Wang Zhiyi defend the lower half, with opponents such as Akane Yamaguchi and Miyazaki Yuka who do not pose a serious threat; the Chinese team can advance to the final from this half.

The men's doubles draw is set, details below. There are no Chinese players in the upper half; in the lower half, the Liang/Wang pair and Chen Boyang/Liu Yi are unlikely to reach the semifinals.

The women's doubles draw is finalized, details are shown below. Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning, Jia Yifan/Zhang Shuxian, and Li Yijing/Luo Xumin defend the upper half, ensuring at least one finalist spot. There are no Chinese players in the lower half.

The mixed doubles draw is confirmed, details below. Feng Yanzhe/Huang Dongping and Cheng Xing/Zhang Chi hold the upper half, likely securing a place in the final. Guo Xinwa/Chen Fanghui and Jiang Zhenbang/Wei Yaxin defend the lower half, also expected to reach the final.

Overall, the Chinese team is expected to win 2 to 3 gold medals. The highest chances for gold are in mixed doubles, followed by women's doubles. Men's singles might contend for gold, women's singles have about a 30% chance, while men's doubles are unlikely to win gold. What do you all think?
