Uber Cup 2026 Preview (& Predictions) (Beckman's Breakdown Ep.44)

This week the 31st edition of the Uber Cup, the World Women's Team Championships, will get underway in Horsens, Denmark. Only 5 nations have ever won this illustrious title and heading into this year's competition it seems unlikely we'll see a new nation crowned champions. But that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of excitement surrounding this event or things to talk about. In this episode of Beckman's Breakdown I will talk about all of the groups, most of the teams, and give my thoughts on how I think these groups might go, as well as anything else I find interesting. Let me know your own thoughts in the comments below. #badminton #beckmansbreakdown #ubercup2022 Thumbnail credit - @xi40tong (IG) 00:00 - Introduction 00:49 - Group A 00:57 - China 04:22 - India 06:15 - Denmark 08:03 - Ukraine 08:27 - Group A Thoughts/Predictions 12:01 - Group B 12:13 - Japan 14:29 - Malaysia 16:30 - Turkiye 17:12 - Group B Thoughts/Predictions 17:43 - South Africa 17:58 - Group C 18:08 - Chinese Taipei 19:00 - Indonesia 20:14 - Canada & Australia 20:50 - Group C Thoughts/Predictions 23:27 - Group D 23:55 - Korea 26:14 - Thailand 28:42 - Bulgaria 30:04 - Spain 30:27 - Group D Thoughts/Predictions 31:05 - BIGGER Questions/Thoughts for Uber Cup 31:15 - Who will be the 4th medalist outside CHN, KOR, JAP? 31:47 - Excited for a potential KOR vs CHN final 32:26 - Dark Horse 33:26 - Uber Cup probably won't heat up until after groups 33:50 - Coming back to Denmark vs India 34:06 - Outro
