Viktor Axelsen of Denmark successfully retained his title, defeating Thailand's Kunlavut Vitidsarn 21–11, 21–11, to win the gold medal in men's singles badminton at the 2024 Summer Olympics.[2][3][4] Axelsen became the first men's singles player to defend his Olympic title since Lin Dan in 2012, and concurrently became the first European player to win back-to-back Olympic gold medals in badminton.[5][6] For a second consecutive Olympics, Axelsen did not lose a game during the tournament.[7] Vitidsarn also became the first Thai player to win an Olympic badminton medal.

In the bronze-medal match, Malaysia's Lee Zii Jia defeated India's Lakshya Sen, 13–21, 21–16, 21–11.[8] Lee became the third men's singles player from Malaysia to win an Olympic badminton medal (after Rashid Sidek and Lee Chong Wei), and subsequently won Malaysia's second bronze medal at the 2024 Olympics (after Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik in the men's doubles event).[9]
