Badminton brothers off to USA
2005-05-26
KOVSIES's badminton brothers, Chris and Roelof Dednam, were after their recent international successes in Kenya and China included in the International Badminton Federation's preliminary list of qualifiers for the world individual championships in August in Anaheim, California. Chris qualified for the singles championship, and the two brothers together for the men's doubles.
Michelle Edwards (WP) can also take part in the singles and together with Chantal Botts (KZN) in the women's doubles. In the mixed doubles no pair of South Africa qualified, due to absence on the ranking list because they did not take part in sufficient international tournaments during the past year due to lack of financing.
