Two more meets postponed, but Choong Hann’s cool


There’s still hope: Goh V Shem (back) and Tan Wee Kiong are second in the Road to Tokyo rankings behind Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik.

KUALA LUMPUR: National coaching director Wong Choong Hann is putting on a brave front although the final stage of the qualifying period for the Olympic Games is in chaos with the postponement of two more tournaments.

Badminton World Federation (BWF) confirmed on Wednesday that German Open from March 3-8 in Mulheim and Polish Open from March 26-29, which are qualifiers for the Olympics in Tokyo from July 25-Aug 9, have been deferred indefinitely.
