BWF World Championships Return to India with Strong Indian Medal Prospects
The BWF World Championships return to India after 17 years, hosted at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium from August 17 to 23.

The tournament features a more open field as China's past dominance has lessened, raising hopes for multiple Indian medalists across categories amid an unpredictable competition.
