Original title: Badminton New Zealand announced postponed Malaysia media: Malaysia does not rule out being abandoned
On February 2, Beijing time, the World Badminton Federation announced on its official website that the New Zealand Open originally scheduled to be held from May 4th to 9th this year was forced to announce the postponement due to the epidemic. Now the date of the match is not fixed and the match may be postponed This year. Recently, Malaysian media reported that if the number of confirmed cases in Malaysia remains high in the next few weeks, the two Malaysian races between the end of March and the beginning of April may also be abandoned.
After the 2020 Badminton Finals last weekend, February will enter a rest period. The World Badminton Federation intends to start the 2021 season from March and restart the Olympic points tournament that was interrupted by the epidemic last year. There are three races in the European season in early March, namely the Swiss Open on March 2-7, the German Open on March 9-14, and the All England Open on March 17-21. However, in the entry list for the first Swiss Open, the two world badminton super teams from China and Japan continue to be absent collectively. If Guo Yu really abandons the Swiss Open, it is very likely that this year’s German Open and the All England will not participate.
Malaysia will host the Malaysian Open from March 31 to April 4, and the Malaysian Masters from April 6 to 11. Although the three races of the Thailand season last month were successfully held, the outbreak in Thailand entered a new outbreak period before the game. During this time, Thailand has maintained more than 800 new cases every day, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases has exceeded 20,000. Malaysia’s recent epidemic has also been relatively serious. There were 4214 new cases added yesterday, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeded 210,000.
The head of the Malaysian Badminton Association Wu Zhiqiang said that the current situation is not optimistic. The local area will implement a movement control order from February 4th. If the epidemic continues to spread in the next few weeks, the two Malaysian badminton tournaments from the end of March to the beginning of April cannot be ruled out. The possibility of holding.
Last season, the German Open and the Swiss Open were cancelled due to the epidemic. Although the All England Championship was held as usual, it received much criticism. Under the current circumstances, the majority of fans hope to see the main players of the Chinese badminton team participating in the official international arena, which is difficult to achieve in the short term.
