The 2022 BWF Tour Super 300 Swiss Open officially started, and in the case of having arrived in Switzerland, the Chinese badminton team withdrew collectively before the start of the tournament, which also made many fans feel very strange. Now that the national feather team has withdrawn from the competition, some players have been infected with the new crown, and the Chinese Badminton Association has launched an emergency plan, in order to protect the health of the national feather team members, the national feather has chosen to withdraw collectively!
The BWF official also gave a follow-up report, that is, in the test before and after arriving in Switzerland, a number of players from multiple associations withdrew from the 2022 Yonex Swiss Open due to infection with the new crown.
The Chinese Badminton Association attaches great importance to this matter, and launched an emergency plan at the first time, saying that it will provide sufficient protection for the national feather team members in terms of life, medical treatment and psychology.
On the other hand, the Chinese Badminton Association also summed up its own shortcomings. In order to prepare for the Paris Olympics and compete for Tour points, the Chinese badminton team participated in two consecutive events in March, namely the German Open and the All England Open, which also led to an increased risk of infection among the national badminton players, and some players had symptoms of fever and cold.
Zhang Jun, chairman of the Chinese Badminton Association, said that foreign epidemic prevention is relatively loose, and then Zhang Jun took the All England Open as an example, Zhang Jun said that during the last 2 days of the All England Open, the audience seats of the Birmingham Stadium were basically full, but few spectators would wear masks, which can also be seen that foreign countries really do not pay attention to the epidemic.
However, in the Paris Olympic cycle, the national team members still have to work hard to earn points. Although the Swiss Open has withdrawn collectively, The National Feather will continue to participate in the Korea Masters and Korean Open, which start in April, and then prepare for the Tangyou Cup in May.
Under such preconditions, the members of the national feather team cannot return to China for the time being. Zhang Jun said that the Chinese team will stay in Switzerland for a period of time in the future to rest, and then divide the troops into two ways, one part to participate in the Korea Open and the Korea Masters, and the other part to go to the Training Camp in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to prepare for the upcoming Tangyou Cup.
Finally, I wish the national feather team members a speedy recovery, and at the moment when they wear the national team jersey to fight for the country, the national feather team members are already the heroes in the minds of the people. Although it is a pity that the collective withdrawal is very unfortunate, it is indeed a correct choice for the sake of the health of the national team members. As for what kind of performance Guoyu will perform next, let's wait and see!
