For Chinese badminton players, May 1 will be a remarkable day. It marks the opening of the 2012 Olympic qualifiers, and for most, the start of a dream for a medal.
But it will be more worrisome for some female players like China’s Yu Yang as they will be forced to wear skirts or dresses at major events from that day on.
A new mandatory rule announced by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) recently required all female players to wear standardized skirts or dresses in top-ranking tournaments like the Grand Prix and super series in a bid to make the sport and players’ appearance more attractive, Oriental Morning Post reports.
The rule takes effect on May 1, but players can test its real force at the Qingdao Sudirman Cup running from May 22 to 29, as those violating the rule will be fined for $250, according to the report.
But the badminton’s world governing body says it is being considerate to players who are not used to wearing skirts during a competition. “Players can continue to wear shorts if they wish, but simply wear a skirt over the top of the shorts,” said Darren Parks, the BWF Events Director.
World No 2 women’s doubles player Yu Yang feels anxious about the new rule as she does not like wearing a dress and has never worn one before.
Another top Chinese player Xu Jing expressed her distress over the new dress rule through her micro-blog on qq.com, “My doom’s coming! My record of not wearing a skirt will be broken (in the match)…Torture…”
However, Chinese badminton team’s head coach Li Yongbo seems supportive of the new rule. “We will abide by the BWF regulations. As long as it looks better and does good to the sport, we will support the rule,” said Li.

The film “Cracked Not Broken” instigates a wide range of thoughts and emotions for me on a personal level. As an addiction treatment provider I am content to note that Lisa is trying on number of levels and through a number of actions to battle her addiction. The very fact that she continues to return to treatment in between episodes of use and that she requested to have this film made and her behavior forever documented for her and other’s use speaks to her desire to be well and address her addiction. As a father of a young daughter I am very saddened by the reality of this video and for the negative impact that it will undoubtedly have on her own daughter. These range of emotions and thoughts are, in my experience, par for the course where addiction is concerned. Though Lisa’s actions may be viewed as valiant resilient and well intentioned , the reality of addiction and the negative impact on their loved ones is undeniable and truly catastrophic. Indeed, Godspeed to Lisa and her family.
