It is expected that he needs another 3 months, most likely he will miss all the tournaments until Thomas Cup. He is indeed very unlucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is indeed very unlucky Missing Rio was his own dumb fault though, not 'unlucky' This time he was a victim in a car crash? Not the one who caused it, I assume? If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Well if he was busted after Rio, that will be a different story Just like Ben Johnson, he was 'unlucky' at Seoul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
