Past Few Days In India Have Been Tougher; It's Difficult To See How World C'ships Could Be Held Here: Mia Blitchfeldt
Indira Gandhi Sports Complex: A day after her Round of 16 exit from the BWF India Open badminton tournament, Danish woman shuttler Mia Blitchfeldt once again expressed her disappointment over hygiene conditions at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex, stating that before coming to India she had mentally prepared herself for “the worst” and added it is "very difficult to see how a World Championship could be held here."
On the opening day of the tournament, which is being held as a test event ahead of the BWF World Championships in August, Mia criticised the hygiene conditions at the new venue of Indira Gandhi Stadium, calling it "dirty and unhealthy". Before leaving for home on Friday, Blitchfeldt once again criticised the conditions at the tournament on social media by posting a picture of bird droppings on the badminton court.
"The past few days in India have been tough - tougher than I honestly expected. I had mentally prepared myself for “the worst” once again, but the conditions surrounding us are simply unacceptable and highly unprofessional.
