Kuala Lumpur (dpa) - The Olympic qualification in badminton is to be continued next March.
The world association BWF announced this on Monday in Kuala Lumpur.
Exactly one year earlier, the one-year qualification period was interrupted due to the corona pandemic.
The German Open in Mülheim / Ruhr (March 9-14, 2021) will be the second qualification tournament according to the BWF schedule.
A new start is planned for the Swiss Open in Basel a week earlier.
The Olympic qualification should end in India in mid-May.
In all disciplines, German players are still hoping for a ticket to the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
As early as January, the best badminton players should compete in three top-class tournaments in Bangkok, Thailand.
Initially there will be two World Tour events, each with a $ 1 million prize money.
The World Tour Finals will then be held at the end of January, with prize money of 1.5 million US dollars.
The German mixed with Mark Lamsfuß and Isabel Herttrich has the best chance of reaching the tour final for the first time.
