Women's singles player Akane Yamaguchi and women's doubles pair Chiyo Shida and Nami Matsuyama secured their spots. There are a maximum of two spots for badminton in the Paris Olympics for each country or region in both singles and doubles.
The points race will end at the end of April this year, but the British Open, which is the second tournament after the World Championships, is over. The results of the Asian Championships, which will be held in China from April 9th, will be crucial for the remaining spots.
