Badminton rankings are points-based averages from tournaments over a year, and Olympic spots go to highest-ranked eligible players from each nation. That is the official line.
But from my desk, I see it is really about stamina and paperwork—the players must have it, and we must not lose theirs. One missed injury report or visa form can unravel it all.
Every month I file my provident fund papers with the same care, thinking if my diligence here can fix my tank leak, perhaps it can also help an athlete’s dream hold water.
