It was a dramatic final day of action at the Thomas & Uber Cup 2026<\/a>, the biennial world team championship in badminton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Republic of Korea earned its second Uber Cup title in the last three stagings, beating\u00a0the People’s Republic of China 3-1 on Sunday (3 May) in Horsens, Denmark.<\/p>\n

The Chinese men were able to prevail in their championship clash with France, however, needing nearly four-and-a-half hours to win by the same scoreline, 3-1.<\/p>\n

It marked their second win in a row (2024) and 13th overall for China in the 34th edition of the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He\u00a0Ji Ting and Ren Xiang Yu secured the triumph with a doubles victory over Eloi Adam and Leo Rossi 21-13, 21-16 after earlier singles wins by Weng Hong Yang and Shi Yu Qi over the famed French Popov brothers.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Korea’s Baek Ha Na and Kim Hye Jeong overcame Jia Yi Fan and Zhang Shu Xian 16-21, 21-10, 21-13 to seal the victory in the Uber Cup, with Team Korea storming the court in celebration.<\/p>\n

The Republic of Korea now has wins in the\u00a0Uber Cup in 2010, 2022 and 2026. China was looking for a record 17th team title, having beaten\u00a0the Koreans in seven championship tilts dating back to 1988.<\/p>\n

Paris 2024<\/a> Olympic champion and world No. 1\u00a0An Se Young<\/a> opened the day with a win for the Koreans over No. 2 Wang Zhi Yi 21-10, 21-13, before the Chinese levelled matters at 1-1 with a doubles triumph.<\/p>\n

Kim Ga Eun put the Republic of Korea in the driver’s seat with an upset win over\u00a0Chen Yu Fei, the world No. 17 shocking the fourth-ranked Chen 21-19, 21-15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was a dramatic final day of action at the Thomas & Uber Cup 2026, the biennial world…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":423818,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":["post-423817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=423817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423817\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/423818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=423817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=423817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=423817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
