Olympic Games 2020: Belgian Lianne Tan guaranteed her ticket for the Tokyo Games

Tan will play his third Olympic Games in Tokyo, after London and Rio.

La Belgian Lianne Tan obtained confirmation of her participation in the Olympic Games in Tokyo (July 23 to August 8). The 30-year-old badminton player learned from the International Badminton Federation (BWF) that the player rankings were frozen on Friday. Tan is therefore assured of his Olympic ticket. This will be his third Olympic Games after London in 2012 and Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

Tournaments in Malaysia and Singapore have been canceled due to the coronavirus crisis. These two events were to count for the classification which, in turn, was to determine which athletes would participate in the next Olympics. The federation finally decided to definitively stop the classification this Friday. Tan, 24th player in the world, is therefore guaranteed to travel to the Japanese capital.
