Controversy! Amid Oly 2036 dreams, Dane blasts India Open conditions

Denmark’s Mia Blichfeldt again criticised playing conditions at the India Open, saying the move to Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium has not helped. She described the venue as cold, dirty and unhealthy, making warm-up difficult, and urged organisers and the BWF to intervene ahead of the World Championships. Canada’s Michelle Li and former world champion Ratchanok Intanon also raised concerns over the cold conditions.
