Doubles, Men

The group stages largely went to form, the only surprise being the defeat of number two seeds Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen (DEN) to Lee Yang and Wang Chi-Lin (TPE) by 21-15, 19-21, 21-15, although Lee and Wang were current Olympic champions. Both doubles pairs advanced to the quarter-finals, with the Danes being the only double not from an Asian nation.

The unseeded Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik (MAS) then progressed to the semi-finals with a hard fought victory over number three seeds Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty (IND), winning 13-21, 21-14, 21-16. The remaining quarter-finals went to form, with top-seeded Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang (CHN) overcoming Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto in a hard fought match 24-22, 22-20. Astrup and Rasmussen then defeated fourth-seeded Gang Min-Hyeok and Seo Seung-Jae (KOR) 21-19, 22-20 to set up a re-match with the unseeded Lee and Wang, who advanced by beating Supak Jomkoh and Kittinupong Kedren (THA) by 21-14, 21-17.

The semi-finals were keenly fought, the Chinese Liang and Wang defeating the unseeded pair of Chia and Soh by 21-19, 15-21, 21-17. The other semi-final was a repeat of their group match, with the same outcome as the unseeded Lee and Wang defeating the Danes Astrup and Rasmussen by a score of 18-21, 21-17, 21-10.

There was a reward for the unseeded Malaysians Chia and Soh, as they won a close encounter against Astrup and Rasmussen, winning the bronze medal with the score being 16-21, 22-20, 21-19, in a match lasting well over an hour. The final was just as enthralling, with the reigning champions Lee and Wang finally overcoming Liang and Wang by 21-17, 18-21, 21-19.
