Participating nationsedit
Austriaedit
Due to security worries Austrian doubles pair Peter Zauner and Jürgen Koch decided against participation in the 2009 BWF World Championships.[5] The BWF issued a special statement calling the withdrawals "an individual decision on the part of the players". COO BWF Thomas Lund said: "I believe it is a matter of concern that teams haven’t been consulting us before pulling out, because all the necessary information is available with us which will allay fears".[5] Lund declined to blame the Indian media for their part in the withdrawals: "I can’t say India as hosts have any reason to be blamed for a false newspaper report with threat perceptions which triggered these reactions."[5]
Denmarkedit
Denmark, who had not achieved a BWF World Championship singles win since 1999, and a men's title since 1997, took part.[6] The country last won the men's doubles title in 2003.[6]
Englandedit
The English badminton team decided against participation in the 2009 BWF World Championships, citing fears of a "terrorist threat", although, according to Hyderabad's police commission "there's no real threat, only a perception".[7] Badminton England chief executive Adrian Christy called it "an incredibly tough decision and one we didn't take lightly".[7] Christy said: "We were not prepared to risk the safety of our players, coaches and staff in what we felt could have been a very volatile environment".[7]
