KAVEH MEHRABI BADMINTON

Hello every body,

hope you are doing well.

Unfortunately I was forced to pull out from this week Bulgaria International.last Saturday when I was flying back yo Denmark from Czech International I could feel that I was getting sick.by the time I landed in Copenhagen I was already sick and having some fever! since Saturday I was not able to leave my bed and I was too sick to do any thing.!

I was supposed to fly to Sofia,Bulgaria on Wednesday(2 days ago) but I had to make a tough desicion and withdraw from the tournament due to my sicknece. It was not an easy decision because I was feeling very motivated to play but after all the reality is that I would have not been able to performe and gain any thing from the tournament. Today was the first day in 1 week that I could start training again but still not feeling 100% at all and feeling weak in my body due to a strong flu that I had for the past 6 days.!

next tournament for me the 2009 Danish Open Super Series which will be held from the 20th to 25th of October. I am very motivated to get back on top of my shape to get back on court and continue compitting on the International Tour.

  2016 Olympic city

as I'm sure most of you have heard from the news today the host city for 2016 will be nominataed by IOC. the 106 IOC members will vote from the 4 candidate cities (Chicago , Madrid , Tokyo , Rio de Janeiro). the IOC congerese is in Copenhagen :-)

it is crazy how many police are in town.it almost looks like a military base! of course it was tougher than normal because the USA president even came over to make an extra push for Chicago Olympic bid.

The Danish TV is covering the presentation of the host cities live and I'm watching it right now as I'm writing this update on my blog. I must admit it is pretty cool and moving what all the cities have to offer.

I'm very exited about this.my personal favourite is Chicago, I think it would be cool to have the Olympic in the USA again. and my second choice will be Tokyo.

the votting will start at 5p.m Central europe time and the result will be announced at 6:30p.m.

I'm looking forward to find out which city will win :-)

have a nice weekend

Kaveh
