Badminton 2019 Discussion Thread

[up and down 82]

Reasons for Tai Tzu Ying decision to retire after Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

 

1. I am not a tall player like those China WS. I am a short player.

2. As a short player I tend to need to run more to cover the court and need to run fast for court coverage,

3. Hence I tend to get injured very fast and it is not a good sign.

4. Injuries along the way while playing badminton has leave me with no choice but to retire from playing at a young age.

 

Of course I will miss Tai Tzu Ying a lot. But one thing for sure short players are always at a disadvantage when they play because they need to move and run faster to cover the court hence of course they will be very prone to injury.

But she hasn't really decided on it yet

Perhaps Intanon's message to her changed her mind...

No because qualification is based on world ranking

The world ranking for Tokyo qualification will start from 27 or 28 april

Points collected in this event won't count towards Tokyo Qualification. Ranking published on April 30 2020 will be the basis for Tokyo Qualification. So, only events after April 29 2019 would count.

for what reason they organize this event before 30 april then 

they are stupid

Only 1 continental championships can count towards world rankings. Next years event will count.

Still, if it was later then at least direct qualification would have been possible.
