New Para Badminton Athletes Commission Chair

Daniel Chan (HKG), a two-time Paralympian and bronze medallist (Tokyo 2020) and silver medallist (Paris 2024), is the Interim Chair of the BWF Para Badminton Athletes’ Commission and a BWF Council member.

Previous Chair, Richard Perot, who was Chair since 2013, was elected BWF Vice President Para Badminton at the BWF AGM in Xiamen in April. This created a vacancy on the Para Badminton Athletes’ Commission.
