Beijing time on July 8, yesterday in the Malaysian Masters Round of 16 match, Japanese mixed doubles player Watanabe Isaac slipped and injured due to the saver stepped on the field side glue, we are saying that the venue problems of these games in Southeast Asia are simply endless, and the attitude of the BWF's inaction has challenged everyone's bottom line again and again.
In the Malaysia Masters Round of 16, Watanabe Yudai / Higashino Yusa played against the Danish duo of Christiansen / Bor, and Watanabe scored a save at the tiebreaker point to win the match. It can be seen that he stepped on the sideline glue and slipped and was injured, although he was celebrating victory, but it was difficult to hide the look of pain.
Many fans are sad that Watanabe is brave and also criticizes the inaction of the BWF: "Watanabe is also very tenacious, but this position is too many people to slip and fall The organizer will take a tape sticker and finish", "We slipped from three angles of the beam yesterday, really angry", "I feel that he has to have a shadow, both times are like this, this kind of easy fracture", "The International Badminton Federation has not paid attention to it, it is really strange!" BWF has done a very poor job in terms of safety! The problem has been out many times, the program is still not improved, and the acceptance has not been upgraded! The feather associations of various countries should protest collectively! "Fell twice... The national featherweight competition is also, three times twice made up"
Why twice, last week's Malaysian Open was also against the Danish duo Ofsianson/Bor, and Watanabe fell in the same position, but it was not a big problem at the time. It's hard not to leave a psychological shadow, right?
In fact, in the first round of the Malaysia Masters, when Guoyu Zhang Shuxian / Guo Xinwa played against Watanabe Yongda / Higashino Yusha, Guo Xinwa also slipped on the sideline glue, and more than once. Players slip and fall because of glue, can't this be taken seriously? Do you have to wait until the injury is irreparable to solve the problem?
It can be solved the first time a problem occurs, and the result is that the seams are not repaired, allowing the player to slip and fall one at a time.
Looking ahead to the Indonesia Masters and Open, An Xianying, Li Meimei, Chen Bingqiao, Xu Bangrong, Song Junyang, Li Wenshan, Su Weiyi, Wang Yaoxin and others suffered from food poisoning.
The BWF, which has to take a stand because of the poisoning of a large number of players, said: "The overall priority of the BWF and The Indonesian badminton is the health and safety of the participants, and we currently support the needs of all athletes. The BWF receives a small number of reports of athletes being unwell. At this point, we don't believe the source comes from a location related to the event.
"As a precautionary measure, entrants residing in one of the official hotels will have breakfast in a separate restaurant away from hotel guests. Athletes are welcome to report cases to the BWF and event organizers and continue to consume any food or beverages with caution. ”
To sum up, it has nothing to do with us, only a few athletes are unwell.
There are far more problems in the playing field, with frequent power outages that interrupt the pace of the player's game, the player's flag is not correct during the broadcast, the box in which the player puts the bag collapses, and so on.
Hong Kong players were flagged with dragons and lions
The ceiling of the venue collapsed
As the contestants passed, the shoes glued the letters on the glue directly away
Previously, the BWF also announced that the 2023-2026 BWF Tour will add four more tournaments to enhance the influence of badminton and bring more opportunities for players to win prizes.
"We are very encouraged by the large number of high-quality bids we have received, which bodes well for bigger and better tour events over the next four years. It allows us to promise higher prizes, bigger TV and web coverage, and great displays, all of which help us seek to enhance our world-class sports offering. BWF Secretary General Thomas Lund said.
We mean that while we have money and increased the number of tournaments, can we also improve the quality of the competition venue? The basic requirement of holding an event is to ensure that athletes are not injured due to external factors, otherwise when promoting badminton to the world, can we let everyone see the most exciting competition?
Moreover, the career of an athlete should not be ruined in these small problems that can be solved with heart! Badminton is a fast, complex and diverse technology, tactical flexibility and changeable sports, any inconspicuous problems and accidents may lead to injuries to players and affect their careers, so I hope that the BWF and the organizers can do things carefully and pay attention to the safety of the field, so that players can play without scruples on the field, and present the most wonderful game for everyone.
