Unhealthy and unacceptable: Denmark's Mia Blichfeldt slams stadium conditions at India Open

  Denmark's Mia Blichfeldt has slammed the playing conditions at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium, which is hosting the India Open Super 750 badminton tournament, and also criticised the pollution levels in the national capital, calling such conditions "unhealthy and unacceptable."

The world no. 23 had picked up a stomach infection but managed to fight through the second round before losing 21-13 16-21 8-21 to China's Wang Zhi Yi.

"Finally home after a long and stressful week in India. It's 2 years in a row now that I get sick during India Open," Blichfeldt wrote on Instagram.

"It's really hard to accept that many weeks of work and preparing, gets wasted because of bad conditions. It's not fair to anyone that we have to train and play in smog, birds shitting on the courts, and dirt everywhere.

"These conditions are too unhealthy and unacceptable. @bwf.official. I'm happy that I managed the second round, but I'm far from satisfied."

The Badminton Association of India (BAI), on its part, said that it faced "logistical challenges" after getting the venue just four days before the event and it is looking for "alternative venues" to host the iconic event.

"As the host and staging authority for the Yonex Sunrise India Open, the Badminton Association of India gains access to the stadium and its infrastructure only four days before the event, which poses significant logistical challenges," BAI secretary Sanjay Mishra said in a statement on Saturday.

"We are already in discussions with the BWF to explore alternative venues and are actively evaluating the infrastructure options," he added.

Following her loss on Thursday, Blichfeldt told the BWF media team that she had thrown up all night and was barely able to get on the court the next day for her second round match.

"That night (Tuesday) was terrible. The only sleep I got was in the morning because I kept throwing up all night. I'm really tired now and my body is really dead," Blichfeldt had said.

"It's not so nice for me, but I'm happy with the match I pulled yesterday and the outcome today but I wish I could have gone to court at 100 per cent. It happened Tuesday evening. It took a lot of mental work (to get on court).

"It's really frustrating when you've been training to come to these tournaments and then this is one of the things that stops you from performing."

French mixed doubles pair of Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue had also expressed concerns about the weather conditions on Thursday.

"The playing hall is pretty nice. But the weather is pretty cold here in Delhi and the pollution is really high right now, so it's not easy to play, not the best conditions to play in," Gicquel had said.

This is not an isolated incident, as during the 2023 Syed Modi International Super 300 tournament, foreign players had also raised concerns about the poor conditions at the Babu Banarasi Das Indoor Stadium, citing issues such as bird droppings and dust-laden courts.

A few days later, Malaysian Soong Joo Ven took to social media to complain about muddy brown water leaking from a basin faucet at his hotel upon his arrival in Guwahati for the Guwahati Masters Super 100.

Additionally, former world number 1 Nozomi Okuhara of Japan claimed to have had a nightmarish experience during the Odisha Open, where she was overcharged by a private cabbie and then made to wait for more than four hours to check into a hotel in Cuttack.

Hindenburg Research Involved In Securities Fraud Along With Anson Funds, Says Report

 The report comes a couple of days after Hindenburg Research, the US-based short-seller, announced its closure. (Representative image. Source: Pexels) The now-shut Hindenburg Research, led by Nate Anderson, was involved in "securities fraud" along with Canada's Anson Funds, according to a report published by the Market Frauds portal. The publishers claimed that they have accessed documents that were filed before a court in Ontario, where Anson is facing a defamation lawsuit. The documents allegedly revealed that Hindenburg colluded with Anson while preparing a report. The preparation of bearish reports without disclosure of participation can be charged as securities fraud by the US Securities and Exchange Commission under Sections 17(a) and 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Market Frauds said. This comes nearly a month after Bloomberg reported that Moez Kassam, the head of Anson hedge fund, disclosed in a deposit...

In calibrated move, RBI loosens grip, lets rupee depreciate against US dollar

 The rupee logged its steepest single-day fall in nearly two years and ended the January 13 session 66 paise down at its historic low of 86.70 against the US dollar. (File image) In what appears to be a shift in strategy, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has seemingly relaxed its control over the rupee, allowing it to depreciate against the US dollar over the past month. The apparent change in stance marks a departure from the RBI’s previous defence mechanisms, which were more rigid. In fact, it had tightly managed the rupee’s movement to prevent sharp depreciation since September 2024 till about a month ago. This article went live on January nineteenth, twenty twenty-five, at four minutes past four in the morning. https://forms.gle/gNYWgRaj41w5nGsB7 https://medium.com/@jermaineritter/dampak-apotek-indonesia-yang-semakin-besar-dalam-layanan-kesehatan-e049d1a2c392 https://www.imdb.com/user/ur193509883/ https://gravatar.com/delicately26313837f7 https://bit.ly/41GKZK7 https://tin...
