These are the results of the women's doubles competition in badminton at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Two duos playing for China took the gold and bronze medals, while South Korea took silver in the tournament. [1]
China's Du Jing and Yu Yang defeated South Korea's Lee Hyo-jung and Lee Kyung-won in the final, 21–15, 21–13, to win the gold medal in women's doubles badminton at the 2008 Summer Olympics. [2] The pair won China's fourth consecutive gold medal in women's doubles badminton. In the bronze-medal match, China's Wei Yili and Zhang Yawen defeated Japan's Miyuki Maeda and Satoko Suetsuna, 21–17, 21–10.
The tournament consisted of a single-elimination tournament. Matches were played using a best-of-three games format. Games were played to 21 points, using rally scoring. Each game had to be won by two points, except when the game was won by a player who reached 30 even if the lead was only 1 at that point.
The top four seeds in the tournament were placed in the bracket so as not to face each other until the semifinals. All other competitors were placed by draw.
