Iraq's one man badminton team

I respect the dedication of this guy, which surpasses even mine. I can only wish a club could safetly take him under their wings and provide him reasonable training with a coach to guide him along

This guy is ranked 205th in the world. The highest ranked Romanian is 684th.

This guy trains in a country that's poorer and far more dangerous than Romania, and still manages to be much better ranked than the best Romanian (actually, there are four other Iraqis ranked higher than the best Romanian: Abood Maher is 520th, M. Besha Haidar is 591st, Kalyana Fan is 670th, Khadum Jabar Ali is 672nd).

Talk about the popularity of badminton in Romania... :rolleyes:

Khadum Jabar Ali defeated his countryman M. Besha Haidar at the BAC today, and will be facing Nguyen Tien Minh in the Round of 32. Abood Maher lost against Hu Yun in the Round of 64. So Yara Azad is not the only one on the IRQ team anymore. Yara Azad and M. Besha Haidar played MD too, but lost in the Qualification. The same goes for Abood Maher and Khadum Jabar Ali.

Actually Yara Azad is training in Malaysia at the moment.;) probably with KLRC or something similar...
