Thet Htar Thuzar waits for upcoming int’l tourneys

22 Oct


Due to the global outbreak of a pandemic, Myanmar’s Badminton icon Thet Htar Thuzar is currently preparing and waiting for upcoming international tourneys plus Tokyo Olympics which has been postponed to next year by World Badminton Federation (WBF).


The WBF will resume its bid for the Tokyo Olympics in early 2021, with Myanmar Badminton star Thet Htar Thuzar competing depending on the tourney’s confirmation amidst pandemic. Thet Htar Thuzar, who is seeking entry to the Olympics, is being away from international tourneys since March amidst pandemic. She is currently ranked 27th in the final list of Olympic qualifiers released by the World Badminton Federation and possessed good prospects for qualifying for the Olympics.


The World Badminton Federation has announced some of the events to be held within the Olympic qualifying period, but all competitions will be confirmed by the end of the year due to the COVID-19. The badminton star was previously scheduled to compete in the HSBC BWF World Tour Super 750 in Denmark from October 13 to 18, but she dropped out after registering due to the second wave of COVID-19 outbreak.
