:EGY Doha Hany will be the first athlete to qualify for 3 events in Olympic badminton, she has helped so many women's singles :lol:

 

 

The sequence of events happening in WS:

 

:ESP Marin injured, so the quota was given to next player which is her fellow :ESP Azurmendi

:FIN Mikkela is retired, her quota is given to :GUA Sotomayor

:NED Soraya No.1 who was blocked by Dutch NOC must gave her quota to :EGY Doha Hany

 

Since Doha Hany has qualified in other events - an extra quota opened and voila - it's a quota for :IRI Soraya No. 2 :p

I think there must be one more withdrawal. Wiki lists :UKR as getting Marin’s quota. 
 

Also, is Hany really planning to play all 3 events? That would mean 8 or 9 matches in 4 days. :yikes:

If I remembered correctly Ulitina already qualified since the original list by the virtue of 4 women players in multiple event (Lauren Smith, Selena Piek, Gronya Somerville, Doha Hany). Ulitina is 42nd in that list, the last spot. The Wiki removed Marin but hasn't added Azurmendi as her replacement.

Badminton England "controversially" selected Lane/Vendy over Ellis/Lamgridge, that means one less person in men's singles

 

 

 

So what's the expected number of Men's and Women's single players respectively? If 38 players, that means 12 groups right?

Currently we have 42 MS and 43 WS which means there will be 14 groups for each singles category
