Why this sudden decision?

She says it's a combination of lack of motivation, and that she and Kamilla Rytter Juhl became parents on January 5th.

- I need to be able to feel a spark inside my stomach when I go to training. It is difficult without it when I have been used to have it for many years and felt that I could always provide my absolute best. I have not been on top of my game lately, says Christinna Pedersen.

- After Molly (her daughter) has appeared, things have of course changed, and Kamilla and I have talked much about this new situation. It wasn't what was supposed to stop my badminton career.

- But everything put together makes me feel like a miss the last motivation to play.

So both Christinna and Kamilla no more playing badminton? Both wanted to retire from playing forever?

They will play together in the Danish badminton league, but they will not play international tournaments or be part of the national team.

So no more World Tour, WCH or Olympics.

So Mathias is without a XD partner? How is he going to play his XD matches?

Yes he is. Badminton Denmark is looking for a new partner for Mathias, so the plan is to find a new partner for Mathias and to qualify for Tokyo.

I haven't heard anything officially. Sara Thygesen is our best female doubles player, but she plays with Nohr. Sara also doesn't have the experience like Christinna, and Mathias probably needs someone with international experience, which will be difficult to find.

I head that it is very lacking of woman players in Denmark right?

Yes, the pool of talents in Danish women's badminton is not big.

Did you watch the All England 2019 matches yesterday? What attracted you most? What is so special about the All England 2019 finals?

I haven't watch all of the games yet. It was a crowded sports day for me yesterday. I have seen Victor's match against Kento. He played very well, but he did make some mistakes which will cost against the world's number 1.  Though he played his best tournament in a long time, so I'm positive towards the upcoming WCH, if he can avoid any injuries of course. 

 

A match I'm looking forward to watch from yesterday's finals is the Men's Doubles. By what I have read, it was an impressive victory for Ahsan/Setiawan, especially because of Setiawan's injury. 

 

I can comment on this year's finals, as I have written, but All-England is always something special because of its long history. All-England is badminton's equivalent of Wimbledon in Tennis.

Did you somehow realized that there is an odd one out player in the finals with not seeded and no ranking?

I guess it will be very difficult to find a XD partner for Mathias right? So few female players to choose from right?

Yes it will. I'm now also worried about our chances in XD...

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
