Pu$$ies. I guess British badminton players aren't the tough hombres they used to be.

#4 It must have taken a lot of courage to run away from those championships like that.

"Our athletes were extremely well prepared for these championships but, at the end of the day, personal safety must take priority over performance."

I wonder how they travel to matches and practice. A drive in a motor vehicle might result in a crash. And what if someone gets hit in the eye with a shuttlecock? After all, badminton is a very hazardous sport in its own right.

What a courageous move!
