BADMINTON PAIR OFF TO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Baha Shneik and Nayef Mansour have arrived in China where they will take part in the 24th World Badminton Championships that will be held in Nanjing from July 30-August 5.

Baha and Nayef will compete in the doubles where the draw has paired them against the Netherlands’ Jako Arnds and Roben Jel in Monday’s first round.

It is the first time that Jordanians have been represented at the event since the Jordan Badminton Federation was formed in 1993.

They secured their places after collecting enough points from participating at events across the world over the past two years.
