Defending Olympic Champion Carolina Marin  withdraws from Tokyo Olympics. 

 

She was the gold medal favorite this year too having reached finals in all the events she participated and winning 4 of them (4/5 tournaments this year) 

 

She'll undergo a major surgery. Wishing her a speedy recovery !

Slovakia will make its 3rd appearance in this sport at the Olympics. Funny enough all 3 participants were women.

After Eva Sládeková recorded the country's debut at the Olympics in Beijing 2008 and Monika Fašungová competed four years later in London 2012, Martina Repiská is ready to debut at the Olympics and by this occasion return our flag back to the Badminton competitions at the Olympics after 9 years absence.

 

Slovakia never won a single match (nor a single set) at the Olympics so far. Sládeková lost in the Beijing KO round in her opening round to Wang Chen of Hong-Kong and in London Fašungová lost both matches in her preliminary round, All historic 3 Badminton matches of Slovakia at the Olympics ended 0-2.

 

Martina has her dreams, winning a set would be awesome and already would make history... winning a match would be just ... Fantastic

 

Martina studies and lives in Denmark, Odense where she trains in the local Badminton Center.

You never know. Maybe she will get the Maldives or Pakistan in her group. That would be sweet to watch.
