Shuttlers,Categorization,World Ranking

The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) president announced that shuttlers will no longer be categorized as 'junior' or 'senior' but will instead be based on their world ranking by the Badminton World Federation (BWF). Young players will also be sent to compete with senior athletes in international tournaments to improve their mental and physical endurance.

shuttlers will no longer be categorised as ‘junior’ or ‘senior’ but will instead be based on their world ranking by the Badminton World Federation , says Badminton Association of Malaysia president Tan Sri Mohamad Norza Zakaria.

“You can see our juniors have already achieved good results, so that is an example now for us to say that juniors in terms of age, they will be allowed to fight at the senior level and compete with the seniors. But, later, we will democratise this to make sure that they are only based on world ranking,“ he said.

“Because I believe the assimilation from junior to senior should be seamless. We used to say, you are junior, you are junior. When they go to the senior level, they get shocked.
