Double Olympic Gold Medallist Viktor Axelsen Withdraws From BWF World Championships
Last Updated: Viktor Axelsen, double Olympic gold medallist, has withdrawn from BWF World Championships because of injury rehab. Double Olympic gold medallist Viktor Axelsen has withdrawn from the upcoming BWF World Championships, citing rehabilitation from injury. The tournament is scheduled to start on August 25 in Paris and the star Danish shuttler took to Instagram to inform of his absence. Axelsen has been out of competitive badminton since undergoing surgery three months ago to treat a herniated disc. Axelsen confirmed that he has not recovered in time to compete in the upcoming tournament in Paris. 'After careful consultation with my medical team, I've been advised to dedicate more time to my rehabilitation. As a result, I unfortunately won't be able to get tournament-ready in time to compete safely at the upcoming World Championships," Axelsen wrote on his Instagram story. 'While it's tough to miss such a big event, I'm not discouraged. On the contrary, I'm highly motivated to keep pushing forward with my rehab and set myself a new goal to come back stronger," Axelsen said. Axelsen, 31, hasn't competed on the tour since suffering a second-round exit at the European Championships in April. Axelsen started the year with a title victory at the India Open in New Delhi but faced a surprise first-round exit at the All England Open. Once ranked inside the top 5 earlier this year, Axelsen has now slipped to World No. 18. A world champion in 2017 and 2022, the star Danish shuttler was knocked out in the quarters by HS Prannoy at last year's edition of the tournament, held in Copenhagen. Axelsen will now shift his focus to a full recovery and plan his comeback with an eye on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Having won gold in Tokyo and defended his title in Paris, Axelsen will now be aiming for a historic hat-trick in Los Angeles. From India, Lakshya Sen and HS Prannoy are expected to represent the country in the men's singles. tags : bwf world championships viktor axelsen view comments Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: August 07, 2025, 20:42 IST News sports » badminton » Double Olympic Gold Medallist Viktor Axelsen Withdraws From BWF World Championships Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Carson Hocevar leaks Rockingham Speedway return before it's official, gets a call from NASCAR
Carson Hocevar (Image Source: Getty) In a puzzling case of accidental comedy, NASCAR Cup Series driver Carson Hocevar revealed he unknowingly let slip information about the return of Rockingham Speedway that had been, until then, under wraps at NASCAR headquarters, which then phoned him to talk about it. It started as a throwaway statement on a Twitch live stream and within 24 hours, blew up into news headlines and put Hocevar front and center. Carson Hocevar admits the leak and NASCAR isn't pleased Hocevar has had a reputation for being delightfully candid both on and off the track, and this time, it might have come back to bite him. He casually mentioned that Rockingham would be back on the NASCAR schedule during a live streaming session. Soon after, he posted on Instagram, 'I leaked Rockingham. ... I just picked something that I thought would be cool... I had no idea,' confirming the comment was unplanned. Truck Series Driver RELEASED Right Before Playoffs | Carson Hocevar Confronted by Rival Crew Chief NASCAR promptly reached out to his team, reportedly asking, 'How do you know Rockingham's coming back?' The phone call proved that the governing body had not intended for the news to be out at that point in time. NASCAR has a dedicated place in history down at a track neutrally termed The Rock in the form of Rockingham Speedway. Cup races were held at the North Carolina 0.94-mile oval for nearly 40 years before it was removed from the schedule after 2004. The track became dormant aside from some sporadic use in the Truck Series in 2012 and 2013. It was quiet for years, but recent renovations and smart planning have led to it being placed back on center stage, with NASCAR planning to return to the facility with Xfinity and Truck Series events in 2025. Behind the scenes: How the Rock made its comeback Rockingham returned with a partnership between local Track Enterprises, the promoter of the venue, and Spire Motorsports- Hocevar's own Cup team. Mid-2024 agreements enable a return over Easter weekend in 2025. NASCAR had put an extensive marketing push behind the revival, including paint schemes used for promotional purposes, such as a special 'Race the Rock' car driven by Michael McDowell in No. 71 at Martinsville. Also Read: 'I am embarrassed by my comments': Carson Hocevar jokes about fleeing to Mexico after clash with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. The schedule change would not be made official by NASCAR for another two and a half weeks, but Hocevar had piqued fans' interest and excitement early with his Twitter slip. It might have made NASCAR's communications staff cranky, but the leak seemed to validate what many fans had hoped anyway: The Rock returns. Hocevar is nothing if not unpredictable, and we saw once again in this true episode. Considered either a shot of refreshing truth or speaking too soon, his candor continues to reverberate in NASCAR.
