Therefore, the Olympic qualifications can be said to be settled following the completion of the Intercontinental Championships held at the same time.

The Hong Kong team is expected to win 4 tickets. Among them, the mixed doubles “Deng Xie Pei” is ranked 8th in the Olympic rankings.

In singles, if more than one athlete from each country or region ranks in the top 16, two can be sent to compete in the Olympics.

Therefore, in the men’s singles only Lee Cheuk-yiu, who was ranked 15th before the Asian Championships, qualified, and Ng Ka Long, who was ranked 26th, missed the three Olympics. In women’s singles, following deducting the countries or regions that have qualified, the 21-year-old Hong Kong player Lu Shan’en, ranked 52nd, was temporarily shortlisted at 26th before the Asian Championships.

In addition, Hong Kong’s women’s doubles team Yang Peilin/Yang Yating were temporarily ranked 18th before the Asian Championships, and were shortlisted at 10th among 16 teams.
