Marin pulls out of BWF World Championship

NEW DELHI: Three-time champion shuttler Carolina Marin on Friday pulled out of the 2021 BWF World Championship after failing to regain fitness following a knee injury. The 28-year-old Marin had earlier withdrawn from the All England Championships this year after suffering the injury during the Swiss Open. However, she was planning to make a comeback at the World Championships beginning in Huelva, Spain this Sunday.

"I was having a really good start to the season, I had won four tournaments out of five. I was feeling very confident, strong and in a really good physical and psychological condition until just one bad movement broke my knee completely," Marin said in a video posted on her Twitter handle.

"Mentally it has been really hard to keep myself up, my priorities have always been health and well-being. Therefore my team and myself have decided not to play the Huelva World Championship," she added. IANS
