This has been going under the radar but it looks like we're heading for a big reduction in the size of our Badminton team going into Paris.

 

Kirsty Gilmour is safe in women's singles and we should get a spot in the men's doubles with Lane/Vendy but that could be it - no mixed doubles, no women's doubles and no men's singles (although that's not as surprising given the retirement of Toby Penty).

In the big hitter sports for GB : Athletics, Swimming, Cycling, Rowing, Canoe Slalom, Triathlon, Sailing, Equestrian - things still seem pretty solid for the system.

 

But in certain outlier sports there seems to be swift moves backwards - Badminton, Judo, Table Tennis, Archery, Fencing

unless i've missed something a pretty miserable week for the badminton squad, only the mens doubles (ranked 14) made it to the R16, and then lost in straight sets to malaysia (ranked 7) 

 

no one really punched above their weight, bit of a long road ahead in this olympiad for badminton i fear
