‘Great Moment For Badminton And Indian Sport’: Gopichand Hails Country Hosting World C’ships
"I think it's really wonderful to see the country host the world championship again. It's a great moment not only for badminton but for Indian sport. In general, there's been a lot of push in the last few years in many sports. And badminton as a sport has grown over time. So it's only fair in time that we host a prestigious event like the world championships. And I'm very happy that at this moment in time Delhi can host this prestigious event,” Gopichand told the media at the BWF World Championships’ official mascot and anthem launch event here.
The 30th edition of the BWF World Championships will be held in New Delhi from August 17 to 23, marking the tournament's return to India after 17 years. The launch event was attended by Badminton Association of India (BAI) president and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, BAI General Secretary Sanjay Mishra, and senior officials.
