Today we will make the decision and we will try to inform you as soon as possible,” commented Marín at the tournament presentation event held at the Madrid City Hall, which was attended, among others, by Alejandro Blanco, president of the Spanish Olympic Committee (COE) and Andoni Azurmendi, president of the Spanish Badminton Federation.
