BEIJING, Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 1, the 2026 TotalEnergies • Li-Ning Li Yongbo Cup 3v3 Badminton National Finals came to a close at the Li-Ning Center in Beijing. Shanghai Xi'ai Sports defeated Zhejiang Xinshengda 2–0 to claim the season's championship title. Badminton world champions Fu Haifeng, Xu Chen and Du Yue, along with Tang Chun Man, a mixed doubles player from Hong Kong, China, joined badminton enthusiasts and partners from across the country to celebrate the season's finale.
At the finals, Li Ning, founder of the Li-Ning brand and Chairman of the Group, delivered a video message: "Sport is not just about competition among a select few; it is a stage where ordinary people can pursue their passion." His words reflect the tournament's 17-year journey. What began as a training-based competition has gradually evolved into a nationwide platform connecting badminton enthusiasts. In the 2026 season, the tournament reached 21 cities across China, bringing together players from different regions, age groups and skill levels through their shared love of badminton.
Off the court, the "3v3 Longtime Friends" awards ceremony brought together players who had competed in the national finals for at least five years to share their stories. For these returning players, 3v3 is about much more than competition. It is an annual opportunity to reunite with old friends and renew their commitment to the sport they love. Their stories stand as a testament to the tournament's 17-year journey.
Another highlight of this year's finals was seeing champions take the court alongside amateur players, bringing elite-level competition and grassroots participation together. Fu Haifeng, Tang Chun Man, Xu Chen and Du Yue teamed up with children and representatives of the winning teams from regional events for friendly matches. Participants of all ages had their moment in the spotlight, sharing the joy of badminton through the experience of playing together.
The "3v3 Energy City Challenge" extended the spirit of participation nationwide. Badminton enthusiasts across the country rallied to boost the Energy Points of their local tournaments and hometowns. Guangzhou ultimately claimed the championship, with representatives of Guangzhou Minghao Sports taking to the stage to receive the award. The pride of the winning city and the enthusiasm of its badminton community combined to create a memorable highlight of the season.
Over its 17 years, the 3v3 Badminton Tournament has grown beyond a sporting competition into a platform where badminton enthusiasts come together and share the joy of the game. Looking ahead, the tournament will continue to join hands with players and partners to bring its "More Than a Game" spirit to even more cities.

By combining scientific literature, research project information and industrial R&D intelligence, ScienceOra provides structured analytical support for research planning and innovation assessment.
From research information to innovation intelligence
ScienceOra's Innovation Evaluation capability draws on a large-scale knowledge base covering publicly available research projects from more than 40 countries, industrial R&D reports, academic publications and patents.
The platform integrates multiple dimensions of research information to help users:
- Identify emerging research directions: Discover relevant scientific developments, research trends and potential opportunities for innovation.
- Analyse the research landscape: Examine research activity, technological progress and relevant evidence across multiple dimensions.
- Evaluate technical approaches: Compare potential research and technology pathways to support more informed decisions.
- Generate structured assessments: Organise findings into analytical reports that support research planning and strategic evaluation.
By bringing these capabilities together, ScienceOra helps researchers develop a more systematic view of the scientific and technological landscape surrounding a research question.
Bringing professional research evaluation to English-speaking users
With the latest upgrade, researchers can engage with the Innovation Evaluation workflow in English, making it easier for international users to explore research topics, examine relevant evidence and obtain structured analytical outputs.
The English-language capability is intended to reduce language barriers in accessing scientific intelligence and support collaboration across international research communities. It also provides universities, research organisations and corporate R&D teams with a more accessible way to explore potential innovation directions and assess technology opportunities.
The upgrade extends ScienceOra's existing AI-for-Science capabilities to a broader international audience, supporting research activities from early-stage topic exploration to more focused technology assessment.
AI-supported analysis for more informed research decisions
According to ScienceOra's published platform information, its Innovation Evaluation capability draws on more than 32 million publicly available research project records, 700,000 industrial R&D reports, and 270 million academic papers and patents.
Wenge AI reports that the platform can reduce certain research assessment processes from several weeks to less than one hour, with evaluation results achieving more than 80% alignment with expert conclusions.
