PETALING JAYA: China badminton are in a tricky spot ahead of the Tokyo Olympic Games.

They are the only top badminton nation who have yet to play in a competitive tournament since the All-England in Birmingham last year – that’s about 15 months ago.

Without these tournaments, China will enter the Tokyo Olympics without having played in any major events for more than one and a half years and it has raised a question whether their players will be able to peak. Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia for instance, suffered a low during the Thailand Open, his first in 10 months, but bounced back to win the All-England title.

World No. 1 Kento Momota of Japan made it to the quarter-finals in his first tournament after more than a year at the All-England and went down to Zii Jia.He did not play in any tournaments for nine months but returned in style by winning the Thailand Open 1 and 2 and reached the final of the World Tour Finals in Bangkok in January.
