The Badminton World Federation (BWF) has announced that in spite of his world ranking, Lin Dan was given a wild card to participate in the upcoming World Championships in Guangzhou, China. “The BWF’s Committee of Management (COM) for the World Championships has voted unanimously to award the legendary Men’s Singles player a wild card for the 5-11 August showpiece in Guangzhou in his homeland. The offer has been accepted by the China Badminton Association (CBA),” states the official BWF website.
This is good news for the fans who will probably gather in big numbers for the annual event in the Tian He Stadium, while Lee Chong Wei might see this last minute adding to the list of participants as bad news as the Malaysian has yet to win a world title and this year’s edition – without the two-time Olympic champion – could have been his best chance.
