The badminton events at the Paris Olympics were scheduled from 26 July to 11 August 2024. Loh Kean Yew (Men’s Singles), Yeo Jia Min (Women’s Singles), Terry Hee and Jessica Tan (Mixed Doubles) represented Singapore at the Olympics.
2021 world champion Loh Kean Yew, seeded 10th at the Olympics, pulled off a stunning upset against 2023 All England Open champion Li Shifeng to advance to the quarterfinals, equalling Ronald Susilo’s 2004 Athens Olympics achievement. However, he could not triumph against Viktor Axelsen, who went on to win the gold medal.
Former world junior number one Yeo Jia Min, seeded 13th at the Olympics, made it to the round of 16 (the knockout stage) where she faced Aya Ohori (world #9). It was a tense and tight match, with Ohori emerging victorious: 11-21, 21-14, 24-22. She equals Gu Juan’s record at the 2012 London Olympics for the best women’s singles result achieved by a Singaporean at the Olympics.
2022 Commonwealth Games gold medalists Terry Hee and Jessica Tan were the first Singapore-born mixed doubles duo to qualify for the Olympics. They unfortunately fell to higher-ranked pairs Feng Yanzhe-Huang Dongping (world #2) and Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei (world #9) in the group stage. Although they registered a victory against Vinson Chiu-Jennie Gai, they could not advance to the quarterfinals.
An open-top bus parade was organised for the Olympians upon their return to Singapore on 14 August 2024.
