Badminton has been contested at the Olympics in ever edition of the Games since its first official appearance in 1992. Five events in the sport have been staged in every edition since the 1996 Games, with the mixed doubles event being one of the most unpredictable.
China has been the dominant nation in the men’s event, winning four golds, two silvers, and three bronze medals. There could be further success for the nation this year, with Shi Yuqi appearing to be the standout player in the field. The top-ranked player on ratings was the gold medal winner at the Thomas Cup earlier this year, and is good value for his position at the top of the betting.
Viktor Axelsen could present Denmark with a fine opportunity to win gold in the event this year, as the 30-year-old looks to successfully defend the gold that he won in Tokyo. Axelsen is second in the rankings, and he holds solid claims after winning gold at the World Championships in 2022.

The Women’s badminton event has a wide-open feel to it this year, with a number of players in the field holding excellent claims on their best form. Like the men’s event, China has dominated the competition throughout Olympic history, winning five of the eight gold medals up for grabs.
An Se-Young is one of the brightest stars in the world of women’s badminton, and she hopes to win a gold on her debut appearance at the Olympics. She made history in 2023 by becoming the first Korean female to win the top prize in history. She has also added the Uber Cup and Asian Games to her growing number of big prizes.
However, we are prepared to take a chance on Carolina Martin this summer. The Spanish star was a famous winner of the gold at the Olympics in Tokyo, and she is a three-time world champion.
