Asian Championships have started and we have seen some very inspiring performances.

 

I have been very much looking forward to watch :MYA Thet Htar Thuzar. Felt she got a great draw especially with Nozomi Okuhara in RD 1 which was anyday going to  be a walk in park, now tomorrow in RD2 she faces an unseeded player should win that one and may then run into Wang Zhiyi which is is a bit of 50:50 . 

 

:VIENguyen thuy Linh was fantastic today needs proper training and coaching and should be in the other 10 in the world. 

 

:JORtook a set against Hong Kong in one of the match which is nice

:NZL withdrew from Thomas Cup, :USA replaced them based on team rankings

 

OTOH, :BRA Ygor Coelho tweeted that it is unfair because there are no official "team rankings" and they should be in instead of USA since they're better placed than USA in Pan Am Cup

But how does Pan Am Cup placement matter? But, honestly how did :USA qualify. According to wiki, :HKG:NED:GUA (also :RUS) are ahead of :USA in the team rankings. Did others reject the reallocation?

Yeah that's just him being unhappy. BWF did not use their terms consistent enough and Ygor complained using his own interpretation (which is clearly wrong)

 

 

Others did reject the allocation. The first they asked is :AUS as the Oceania runner-up, but they rejected.

One player from Tahiti complained that their federation (as the semifinalist) were not invited by BWF.

 

 

And as there are no more Oceanian teams, they go to team rankings. I believe :HKG with the strict quarantine just don't see the trip worth it and :NED also won't bother going. It is interesting they did not mention :GUA in the press release, probably the shady BWF didn't even bother inviting them too...

Chinese head coach Zhang Jun first time revealed that Shi Yuqi was under one-year internal suspension because of his quitting on opponent's match point during Thomas Cup last year and subsequent quarrel with fans on internet. Shi Yuqi will be absent from most tournaments of this year including Thomas Cup and World Championships. The most optimistic scenario is that he will be back at November.

BWF World Tour 2023-2026 hosts announced:

 

- Super 1000 expanded to 4 with Malaysia Open getting the slot

- Super 750 expanded to 6, Singapore and India will be the new hosts

- Super 500 expanded to 9, and we have 3 new hosts in here: Canada, Finland, Australia

- Super 300 stays at 11, Hylo (Saarbrucken) Open and Orleans Masters upgraded to this category

 

 

Good news for the players: the top player commitment stays as it is

 

 

Super 100 and World Tour Finals hosts are still pending, apparently BWF set the bar too high for the Finals and no one bids for it

Pretty damn surprising to see Finland getting a Super 500. Awesome!

While the bidding process is not transparent (lol), Singapore has been planning it for a long time.

 

Finland used this argument in their proposal: "There is no Super 500 event in Europe, and we want to continue showing what we're capable of after hosting the Sudirman Cup and European continental events".

 

China actually submitted a bid for Super 500 tier too but didn't made it

Chinese player Shi Yuqi accepts the WCH invitation and Chen Long rejects it. Chinese badminton association lifted the internal suspension of Shi Yuqi thanks to his "good behavior" and "good attitude". My own interpretation of this late acception and rejection swap is because that Chen Long is going to retire soon and giving up the unexpectedly postponed Asian Games at home. With the disappointment of recent men's single tournament's result and to avoid the humiliation on WCH, Chinese association ultimately decides to lift Shu Yuqi's suspension.

    • With a week to go till the deadline for the world invitational,the rosters look beefy for the discus on both sides.24 entries for the men[19 accepted in so far] and 25 for the women[18 accepted so far] For the men so far there are three 70 meter throwers[i count Denny as that since it's just 4 centimeters off his pb]10 from mid 66 to low 69,three of 65 and over,four from almost 64 to almost 65.On the women's side the 18 accepted throwers all have a pb of over 60 meters.11 of them have  pbs over 64 plus.of the ones still not there besides Valerie and Yaime who have been marketed so i can only assume they will join,such names as  Sandra Elkasevic,Bin Feng,and jordine van klinken aren't signed up yet,jordine's probably the most likely of them to join in tough feng would be a cool surprise,i somehow don't see Sandra doing this,but it would be awesome if she did.Stahl and ceh aren't in yet on the men's side,ceh has been marketed while stahl hasn't been mentioned at all,[pretty sure stahl will not be there],Lukas[last name is too wild for me to even try] and lawrence okoye aren't there yet either but i'm betting both will be joining in.
    • What a shame. That would have been amazing.
    • It's complete American domination in the women's discus rankings so far this year,they occupy the top 4 slots,and the WORST result of those four was achieved at Ramona .Third place currently belongs to Ciera Jackson who had a huge almost 4 METER pr at the west coast relays on friday-64.42[previous best was 60.77 from march of 2023,and she opened her season a week ago with at that time her second best result ever of 60.14]she also had a 63.66 throw to back this new pb up,and finally with her new personal best she took down the school record that stood for 36 YEARS[Btw Valerie Allman actually competed in Ramona on march 30th but conditions were apparently far from ideal and she fouled four times and her best was a 63.61,i don't doubt that in the event that she competes in the  world intational,the conditions will be perfect,i wouldn't be so bold as to say she wouldl get the world record but for sure i think she could get a new personal best.
