PETALING JAYA: All Denmark shuttler Viktor Axelsen wanted was 15 minutes under the sun.
Not only was his request not entertained but the former world No. 1’s sharing about some of the challenges in Thailand under the bubble system has been erased by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) on their Facebook page.
Axelsen managed to screenshot his message before it was deleted and posted it on his social media platform.
“I wrote a comment expressing my thoughts on @BWF.official post on FB, but they apparently removed the post shortly afterwards, ” said Axelsen, who is in Bangkok for the season opener, the Thailand Open, starting tomorrow.
