Dear All
A reminder that the forum does not permit discussions of race, religion and politics.
There are many explanations of sports federations in other granted dispensations due to historical and political events. BC suggests interested persons do their own research and come to their own conclusions. But not to bring it into BC.
Thanks
Sorry to say... hongkong is not a seperate country. You might have known about the ongoing protests etc ?. If it is a separate country, it wont happen at all.. and I think hong kong still uses chinese national anthem.. why that so?.
i did say "according to bwf" in my last post.
from now on I better change the title to 'member association' rather than country
according to BWF, both HK and Scotland are country.
damn, Scotland is not a member association!
why the Scots always causing troubles?

Think about it, In what team events have you ever seen the UK play as a team
Correct, both USA and Malaysia got 100% thro this round.
And Denmark's is more creditable as it is from 5 of 5
Normally, that belong to Vietham for the first few rounds from the you know who.
Unfortunately not this French Open
You are.

Rugby.....
Badminton is an individual sport. Why country comes to bother?
I really don't care where the players from. No matter it's a Chinese smash, or Scottish defense, as long as it's powerful, graceful, most important it wins, then it counts.
UK plays as a team in the olympics.
Also the correct word, also used by the IOC and Asian Olympic Committee, is NOC, not member association.
They don't really, they play for GB but not as a team, there is no team event just the individual championships at the Olympics.
