Badminton

China's isolation from the international sports movement is well over. The country is regaining its place on the map of major events, with still the same appetite. The International Badminton Federation (BWF) announced via a press release: the next four editions of the World Tour finals will take place in China, in the city of Hangzhou. The series will begin this year, to continue in 2024, 2025 and 2026. The next edition is scheduled for December 13 to 17. As of this year, the World Tour has 31 tournaments, with an increased number of Super 1000, Super 750 and Super 500 events. As a reminder, Hangzhou will host the 23th Asian Games from September 8 to October 2023, 19.
