The cruel invisible hand of fate is fiddling with every individual’s destiny in the country during this unrelenting second wave of the pandemic. Like with every other discipline, the world of sport is also not being spared. Deaths of Olympic champions, players testing positive and Games qualifiers getting postponed or cancelled are a few instances that reflect the predicament of life currently. The most heartbreaking news was the demise of 1980 Olympic gold medallist MK Kaushik and teammate Ravinder Pal Singh (both men s hockey). This came just days after the death of veteran sports administrator RK Sacheti.

The Malaysia Open badminton tournament due to take place this month has been postponed because of a worsening coronavirus outbreak, organisers said Friday, leaving only one qualifying event for the Olympics. The competition was scheduled for May 25-30 but will now happen on future dates which are not yet decided, the Badminton World Federation (BWF) said.
“The recent surge in cases left no choice but to postpone the tournament,” they said in a statement.
Infections have climbed sharply in Malaysia in recent weeks, prompting authorities to tighten curbs in the capital Kuala Lumpur where the tournament was due to happen. The BWF confirmed the rescheduled competition would no longer take place in the Olympic qualifying window.
