Yes unfortunately that is correct. Danish badminton federation announced the news today. Very bad for the sport these things can happen with no consequence at all for the ones pulling out. The small fine they get for this is a joke.
^^About the penalty fee for withdrawing..^^ ..i somewhat concur that the penalty is too little. But then if the penalty fee is increased, one has to consider those players who are not being sponsored by a national team or don't have any sponsors. What if they get injured or sick just prior to the tourney and have to pull out? Should BWF create different levels of penalty fees? More expensive for players in a national team and less expensive for independents or players not in a national team? With the withdrawal of LCW and the CHN squad (mainly LD, CJ & BCL), i sense a possible duel between Gade and one of the INA shuttlers in the MS Finals. Or maybe even an all INA MS Final. I also sense the INA squad could do well here as well..
I wonder.. ..with their withdrawal from the DEN Open SS, if the CHN squad will skip the following French Open SS as well??..
Don't worry, I guess they won't CMIIW Although it's really good for INA or other nations to grab titles as their chances are gettin bigger with CHN's withdrawal, LOL But this tourney will be far less interesting had they withdrew as well The main reason behind their withdrawal from Den SS is due to close schedule with National Games (which will concluded on Sunday Oct/18), I guess with one week break, they'll be able to recover from all fatigue or injuries and ready to take action in Fra SS But i may be wrong, though
een told that CHN will send some..not full..as you can see the draw, some chinese have to play each other like Wang Xin vs Wang lin..my hunch is Wang xin will go to French....and their young double MDs
Hauge, I think Wang Xin vs Wang Yihan at first round of French SS... With all CHN players pulling out, there will be DEN SS re-draw?!
China sending some players is more for entertainment purposes. So that they wont get fine or bad records.
This is nothing new from Chn team........been so many times already...so its the mice's game now, after the cat has withdrew....great chance for INA and Den to win titles here. We still can enjoy badminton without Chn team......
We still can enjoy badminton without Chn team......[/quote] yep- agree to that, no more boring CHN-CHN finals coming up! LOL the mess is, the schedule is fixed for a couple of month (may be even years) - so what is the real reason? Guess they just want to show their power, just want to upset the fans of badminton all over the world. It's something you can only assume to be done by CHN team. What to say now? They simply did a great job again, thanks to Li Yongbo and his racketeers for doing so and for giving the chance to others to snap a SS title
No the news was correct. Danish badminton federation did recieve a full withdrawal from China. But when this news came out, danish badmintons chief of sport said they would try convincing China to change their mind. A few hours ago the happy news was published that China has now chosen to send players in all 5 categories, including some seeded players. But there will still be some withdrawals. It it still to be published which of the players they will send. But this is good news!
No matter how much i hate to see China Vs China finals, still enjoying the games la. So, do come, yea? shall waiting.
Thats good news...I guess... Chen Long Gong Wei Jie Wang Yi Han Lu lan Zheng bo/Majin Pan pan/zhang ya wen Tao Jia Ming/Zhang ya wen Pan pan/Zhang na Zhang Nan/Chai Biao
Seems all CHN players who enter finale at National Games will cancel their participation here...So no re-draw for this SS as scheduled tomorrow?!
