Badminton BA Team Asian Championships 2020


Recommended Posts

I greatly support the idea of organising BAC (Badminton Asia Championship) in Philippines. BATC will be held in Philippines in the month of February. It is certainly a good idea for Philippines to host the BAC as well. Every part of China is now infected with Coronavirus. So any city in China is deemed as not safe to organize any sports events anymore. We do not want any athletes to be infected with Coronavirus before Tokyo 2020 Olympics. So moving is to Philippines is a good idea. Thumbs up from me. :thumbup::yes:clap::cheer:

India withdrew their women's team from BATC, citing parents' concern on coronavirus. The men's team will still play, though.

There will be a redraw for BATC tomorrow. This is due to China and Hong Kong team who have been barred from playing in BATC and also the India women team who pulled out at the very last minute. A fresh new draw will be conducted on Monday and by Monday there will surely be a new grouping for all the different countries.

Coronavirus: Hong Kong badminton stars face being barred from next week’s Asia Team Championships in Manila

 

Twenty-strong Hong Kong men’s and women’s squads, headed by Angus Ng and Cheung Ngan-yi, are chasing precious ranking points for Olympics

 

Philippines has banned all travellers from China, including Hong Kong, because of the spreading coronavirus


Hong Kong badminton authorities are seeking support from regional governing bodies as the city’s players face being barred by the Philippines from next week’s Asia

 

Team Championships in Manila because of the deadly coronavirus.

 

The team, comprising 10 men and 10 women and headed by newly crowned Thailand Masters champion Angus Ng Ka-long and Cheung Ngan-yi, are due to leave on Friday as they seek to secure Olympic qualification points.

 

“We hope this can be resolved swiftly,” said head coach Tim He Yiming. “As far as we understand, all relevant bodies are working hard on the issue, including the Asian Badminton Federation and the Hong Kong Badminton Association.

 

“Every tournament is important at this stage as the Olympic qualification is due to finish in two months and if we can’t take part in the event, it will cost some of the players dearly.”

 

The Philippines this week introduced travel bans covering all persons coming directly from China and its two special administrative regions, Hong Kong and Macau.

 

Hong Kong men’s number two Lee Cheuk-yiu is 15th on the qualification list and must hold his position in the top 16 position until qualification ends in April to be eligible as the second player from Hong Kong behind Ng for the 2020 Tokyo Games.

 

Ng and Cheung, who are almost certain to qualify, also want to strengthen their positions for a better draw in the Olympics, as does the mixed doubles pair of Tang Chun-man and Tse Ying-suet, the world number nine.
 

 

 

 

 


Hong Kong is left fuming with anger as they might miss out from getting a chance to feature and play in Thomas and Uber Cup 2020. Badminton Asia Team Championship isvery important as those countries who reached the minimum quarter finals wqill be the 8 countries to represent Asia continent to play in Thomas and Uber Cup 2020. Countries such as China and Hong Kong have been barred from playing in this team tournament which will be held in Philippines next week. As for China team they have no problem as they have virtually qualified to play in Thomas and Uber Cup 2020 on merit based on their high team ranking. However the same cannot be said for Hong Kong team who have a low team ranking and they need to reach the quarter finals in BATC to enable them to qualify and play in Thomas and Uber Cup 2020. Not being able to play in BATC has jeopardised their hopes to qualify and play in Thomas and Uber Cup 2020. This has left the whole Hong Kong team fuming in anger over such unfair treatment.

 

The reason here is simple a lot of countries have started to bar China and Hong Kong citizens from coming to their country. Hence athletes for all the different sports in China and Hong Kong are at the receiving end as more countries have barred China citizens from entering their countries. China athletes will also have to skip all the tournaments held in European, American and Australia as these 3 continents have started to bar China citizens from entering their countries due to coronavirus that is spreading rapidly.

Yes it is a very sad news for the whole of the Hong Kong team. The Hong Kong team have by now become disqualified from playing in Thomas and Uber Cup 2020 and this has left them fuming in anger. Nothing can be done when the Phillipines side said they will not allow any China or Hong Kong citizens to enter their country and shut the door on them. So pitiful for the whole Hong Kong team. The whole Hong Kong team protested in anger but to no avail. To the Phillipines health comes first.

Basically China athletes by now have been barred from playing in any tournaments held in European, American, Australia and also Asian continent. A big blow to China athletes as all the countries have choosen health as their main priorities. Reason given is China athletes will spread Coronavirus so there is nothing to be done here.

As far as I know, China has been barred from USA, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the Philippines officially, and maybe also some other small countries without official notification, but I don't think Europe was included. Currently many Chinese athletes playing tournaments and practicing as main field there. Do you have any source to confirm? If so, it would be a nightmare.

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
    • Dunno if this is geoblocked, but this is from our weekly comedy show Saturday Night Live  
    • I don't buy that she's doing this just to start the race if she thinks she won't be competitive.  We'll probably know more after the training run and far be it from me to know how that's going to work with a torn ACL, but if she knows she can't do it, she'll give that spot to another skier
