Chae Yoo-jung and Seo Seung-jae, who are ranked third in the world and jointly won last year's badminton mixed doubles world championship, easily defeated Algeria's Kosailma Mameri-Tatina Mameri 2-0 (21-10 21-7) in the first match of Group B of badminton mixed doubles at Arena Port de la Chappelle in Paris, France on the 27th (Korea time). It was such a triumph that the game took only 30 minutes.
As a result, Chae Yoo-jung and Seo Seung-jae, who joined the bronze medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games, easily broke through the first gateway to the medal at the Paris Olympics. The badminton mixed doubles will be divided into four groups of four teams, with a group qualifying round. The top two teams in each group will play in the quarterfinals.
Chae Yoo-jung and Seo Seung-jae, who won their first edition, will face Robin Tabling-Selena Peak (the Netherlands) who is ranked 19th in the world on the afternoon of the 28th. On the 29th, he will meet world No. 6 DeChapol Prabaranukro and Shafrissi Taechatanachaijo of Thailand. Three games are the key.
