Three Olympic champions and their complicated love triangle! A male athlete marries his girlfriend’s best friend, but the girlfriend retaliates by tying the knot with her own younger protégé.

The Chinese badminton team is an exceptionally talented squad, having clinched numerous championships at the World Championships and Olympic Games throughout history. China has also produced many outstanding athletes in badminton. At the 2012 London Olympics, the Chinese badminton team reached its pinnacle, sweeping all five available gold medals and securing every single title—clearly demonstrating their unmatched strength on the global stage.

At that Olympic Games, China's badminton team delivered stunning performances in both the mixed doubles and women's doubles events. Tian Qing and Zhao Yunlei clinched the women's doubles title for China, while Zhao Yunlei and Zhang Nan secured the mixed doubles gold medal. Remarkably, Zhao Yunlei herself claimed victory in both events, becoming the ultimate winner of her career.

Zhao Yunlei and Zhang Nan partner up for doubles, but their relationship runs even deeper—they’re also a couple in love. Interestingly, Zhao is four years older than Zhang, yet their bond remains remarkably strong and stable. Meanwhile, Tian Qing is truly Zhao’s close confidante; the two train and compete side by side, often sharing the same championship podium. Their friendship—and partnership—truly sets them apart as an extraordinary duo.

To everyone's astonishment, these three Olympic champions found themselves caught up in a dramatic and soap-opera-like storyline. Their complex web of rivalry, romance, and personal conflicts left audiences utterly stunned—especially when male athlete Zhang Nan unexpectedly broke up with Zhao Yunlei. But that wasn’t all: Zhang Nan eventually tied the knot with Zhao Yunlei’s former partner, Tian Qing. Meanwhile, Zhao Yunlei refused to be outdone, marrying her own younger teammate instead.

Seeing the final outcome, everyone was left speechless—no one expected something like this to happen to China’s badminton team. Of course, this was ultimately the personal choice of these three athletes, and it’s not really appropriate for others to comment. After all, choosing whom to marry is their own freedom. Perhaps Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei just weren’t meant to be, which is why they ultimately couldn’t end up together.

Now, all three athletes are married and have found their own beautiful love stories. Fans will continue to send them their heartfelt blessings, hoping they keep striving hard to contribute even more ideas and strategies to the Chinese badminton team in the future. We believe they’ll play a vital role in helping the team further elevate its performance. Although Chinese badminton may not currently be at its peak, it still enjoys a passionate and dedicated fanbase. Rest assured, Chinese badminton is destined to make a triumphant comeback, reclaiming its place as a dominant force on the global stage and delivering unforgettable moments of victory once again.
