NEW DELHI (AFP) — The 2009 world badminton championships have been shifted from the Indian capital of New Delhi to the southern city of Hyderabad, an official said on Friday.

The change was made due to the delay in renovation work being carried out at the Siri Fort Sports Complex in New Delhi, which is also the venue for the Commonwealth Games in 2010.

"Hyderabad has excellent badminton facilities and will be a good place to hold the world championships," Indian badminton chief V.K. Verma said.

"The world body approved the change after we told them the New Delhi stadium may not be ready in time."

The world championships are scheduled for August 10-16 next year.

Sure hope not.:D Then again, I sure want you around for the rest of the season---there's going to be lots of "Hide and Watch" opportunities---there's still lots of the uninitiated who have never been exposed.

I may bolster a couple of opinions on some of tonight's games before the day is done.

This is an absolute travesty.

New Delhi is THE center of Indian badminton. This change is going to greatly upset the general public! It is akin to moving the Boston Marathon to Cambridge!

A horrendous move by the officials. I expect riots.
