Affected by the epidemic, the world badminton world has entered a truce since March 16. The Tang You Cup has been postponed twice in a row, and the 2021 World Championships have also been postponed to the end of the year. In addition, there is still no official explanation for the Olympic points competition originally scheduled for April 26.
Although the World Badminton Association has previously stated that it has discussed a series of problems in the Olympic points competition through a conference call, it is obviously impossible to fully interpret the various doubts of the outside world.
In response to questions from athletes and fans, Lund finally released a positive signal: "We are preparing to resume international competition as soon as possible, including the establishment of a new 2020 schedule."
However, he did not disclose more information about the semi-finals afterwards, but instead emphasized the current difficulties. "At this time, although it is necessary to ensure that players, entourage, officials and staff can safely participate in the game, we are difficult Predict when each country and region will lift the entry restrictions.
