Apparently I'm sure it'll not happen as they planned. 

 

Tournaments are overlapping, there is no quarantine rule for any tournament. 

 

I'm not optimistic about having a tournament anywhere in india except the north eastern states but then they can't host a big one due to lack of facilities,  Hyderabad which has less than 400 active cases (Hyderabad Open maybe safe) and Bangalore which is anyhow the largest city in the country without pretty much any big kind of lockdown currently  and 127 active cases (maybe safe to have Olympic Qualifiers for 3*3 here but I'm not sure if Olympics will happen in Tokyo ) Maybe for Bangalore  only good thing is that it's the only place where sport ,training  and opening stadiums  is allowed in the country currently with good facilities.

2 time Olympic champion Lin Dan just announced retirement from national team and giving up trying his 5th Olympics due to age and health issue.

 

Personally, I think Lin Dan is the icon of Chinese badminton and an international legend. Good luck to him. And according to his announcement, he still possibly attend national games representing his provincial team for the very last time.

I felt that retiring in situation without tournaments like this isn't fit for a legend..

 

All the best for his future endeavors

    • That is what UEFA published after the draw. 
    • after a relatively slow start,  start hitting boundaries left and right and  just couldn't chase their score of 320/5 (50 overs), leaving the home fans highly disappointed    Will Young (107) and  Tom Latham (118, not out) were the key batsmen for the eventual winners   Tomorrow, it's time for  vs  (in Dubai @ 10 a.m. CET)

    • Zürich's Sven Andrighetto won both the Top Scorer and MVP awards of the 2024/2025 CHL    
    • Zurich fend off Färjestad to claim European Club Champions title     Zurich defeat Färjestad to become CHL Champions Färjestad's inability to convert on special teams was costly Sven Andrighetto scored both goals for the Swiss     Sven Andrighetto scored twice, including the game-winner at 32:33, and Šimon Hrubec made 31 of 32 saves as ZSC Lions Zurich kept the European Trophy in Switzerland with a nail-biting 2-1 victory over Färjestad Karlstad.   The Swedes scored late to bring the game to within one, but a dominant defensive effort from the Swiss side helped secure their well-deserved win in the 2024/25 Champions Hockey League Final.   Both netminders were excellent through the first 20 minutes, but an opportune moment near the end of the frame enabled the Swiss to break the deadlock when Andrighetto slid a loose puck between the pads of Maxime Lagacé to open the scoring at 17:48.    Dario Trutmann threw the initial shot on net as the puck ricocheted off several players before finding its way to the top of the blue paint where Andrighetto deposited the loose change to secure his ninth of the year.   Then in the second, it was Andrighetto again as the 31-year-old extended his club's lead with seven and a half to go in the middle frame.   Play developed as Denis Malgin skated the puck through neutral ice before dropping it off for Rudolfs Balcers who quickly dished it to Andrighetto in the near circle where he one-timed it past the Färjestad netminder to make it 2-0 in favour of the hosts.   The Swiss continued to put on a defensive clinic in the second, mitigating the Swedes' offensive pressure and minimising their high-danger chances.   Hrubec managed to turn aside all 20 Färjestad shots through the first two periods to keep his club's advantage heading into the third.   Still trailing by two, the Swedes were awarded their fourth powerplay of the night when Zurich's Malgin was called for Boarding at 50:59 and would make good on the ensuing man-advantage thanks to Per Åslund's second of the season and first since his goal on Game Day 1.   Off the face-off win, the puck found its way to David Tomášek who slid it towards the stick of Åslund who was parked at the top of the crease where he redirected it past Hrubec with less than ten minutes to play in regulation.   Desperate to find the equaliser, Färjestad pulled their netminder in the closing moments but Zurich's defence, spearheaded by Hrubec, pulled through as the Swiss fought off the Swedes' last-ditch effort to claim victory and be crowned European Club Champions.
