Update: The Turkish player is also withdrawn...

 

Now for many people in Indonesia, badminton is suddenly a matter of life or death.

Literally every comment on social media says "unfair" "why not the other countries" "Cancel the the tournament" lol

Why so serious? It doesn't count Olympic points after all and many good players already withdrew.

Unfortunately not everyone is calm enough to absorb this.

 

Suddenly this became a fight between Indonesian against Western aggresors. With the Danish/Indian false positive case, some even started a conspiracy that BWF just want to stop Indonesian from winning titles (as if the Indonesians can sweep the titles :rolleyes:)

I don’t think it targeted Indonesian. On the contrary it exploded how bad the English committee to organize a tournament. The committee should feel ashamed that it became such a mess. But Indonesian players are innocent victims indeed especially Jonathan defeated the talented Thai play in the first round.

Badminton’s scoring system might change soon. Proposal from Badminton Indonesia/Badminton Maldives would make games best of 5, with sets to 11 points. Source: https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1106196/badminton-world-federation-agm-may

Oh that BWF has got no work. No problem the scoring system will not change. No athlethe wants that boring system which kills the coemback in a game and returns to 2000s where a similiar scoring was there.

      no idea. I just repeated what I read  but I won't be surprised if they make a mistake like this. the officials here are usually terrible in reading the rules. if I remember correctly they sent an Ice hockey team to the Games back in 2017 but most of the players were ineligible to play per IIHF rules and they played some friendlies instead    btw there is a federation, but not an ISU member. Ice Skating (which has a very very limited activity here) was a part of Skating (roller sports) federation but now moved to Skiing federation which officially changed its name to Skiing and Winter Sports Federation.

      Rhythmic Gymnastics 2024 Discussion Thread

      There is a saying to never trust a Russian in gymnastics. Well, ex-Russian turned Bulgarian Elvira Krasnobaeva is transferring now to Armenia.   The "official" reason is for personal, family matters, but in reality it's most likely because she wasn't selected for Paris, which angered her parents. Even though she is only 16, had her breakthrough just this year and started making mistakes, when they amped up the difficulty.   Our Federation's President Iliana Raeva said today, that she received calls also from France and Azerbaijan about Elvira's mother basically auctioning her. Raeva mentioned, that Krasnobaeva was going to be a vocal point in the next Olympic cycle, but now she can hit the road and missed her chance to ever compete for Bulgaria, even if she wanted to in the future.    We are also going to make a new Group from next season. After the disappointment in Paris, 4 out of the 5 girls announced their retirement.
