up and down 82 Posted April 7, 2019 #191 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Reasons for Tai Tzu Ying decision to retire after Tokyo 2020 Olympics. 1. I am not a tall player like those China WS. I am a short player. 2. As a short player I tend to need to run more to cover the court and need to run fast for court coverage, 3. Hence I tend to get injured very fast and it is not a good sign. 4. Injuries along the way while playing badminton has leave me with no choice but to retire from playing at a young age. Of course I will miss Tai Tzu Ying a lot. But one thing for sure short players are always at a disadvantage when they play because they need to move and run faster to cover the court hence of course they will be very prone to injury.

Points collected in this event won't count towards Tokyo Qualification. Ranking published on April 30 2020 will be the basis for Tokyo Qualification. So, only events after April 29 2019 would count.

dcro 10,172 Posted April 21, 2019 #200 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Still, if it was later then at least direct qualification would have been possible. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
