Badminton Japan national team training camp canceled Canceled by more than half of the players 18:51 on June 25th
The Japan Badminton Association was planning to hold the training camp for the Japanese national team scheduled to start on the 1st of next month because more than half of the targeted players expressed their intention to withdraw from participation due to concerns about infection with the new coronavirus, etc. I decided to cancel.
The Japan Badminton Association has suppressed the activities of the Japanese national team since March due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but after the declaration of emergency was lifted, guidelines for infection prevention were created, and from the next month, Toyama Prefecture will be established. I was planning to resume my activities at a training camp held in Akita Prefecture for men and women.
However, when we confirmed the intention to participate in 25 athletes of all targeted men and women, more than half of the athletes may move to the training camp and may be infected by themselves, or there is a possibility of spreading the infection at the destination. It means that he has conveyed his intention to refrain from participating because there is such a thing.
For this reason, the association decided to cancel the camp and announced it on the 25th.
Regarding the resumption of representative activities, the association has taken measures to prevent infection, such as changing the venue to a rural area, avoiding the National Training Center in Tokyo where athletes of other competitions also gather, but understanding the athletes and their affiliations I didn't get it.
The Japan Society wanted to hold a training camp in August, but it is blank at this point, and it will be necessary to reconsider the strengthening measures for the international competition that will be restarted in September.
