Looking at our badminton results, I think we can be very proud of having reached our goal:
to qualify for the Olympics. Our players fought the best they could, but I think we can safely
say that we are not good enough YET. The gap from the very top of world badminton to our
standard is still big, but I feel we have closed the gap rapidly during the last three years.

I would like to congratulate Chantal Botts, Michelle Edwards, Antoinette Uys, Stewart Carson,
Chris Dednam and Dorian James for making the final cut and as we all know will be leaving for
the Olympics in Athens early August.
