Lingshui Masters postponed, planned to be held in May.

 

Asian Championships is very likely to have a new venue, with Philippines reported to be interested

This is not going to effect Olympic qualification as it is a 100 tournament.

Momota underwent a surgery again after he was back in training. An undetected fracture under his right eye made him seeing "double shuttles"

With less than 6 months to go for Olympics, a big blow to Momota. He was among the top players in 2016 as well but missed Rio Olympics due to gambling. Now this.

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

Missing Rio was his own dumb fault though, not 'unlucky' :p 

 

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Well if he was busted after Rio, that will be a different story :p

 

 

Just like Ben Johnson, he was 'unlucky' at Seoul ;)
