Badminton BWF World Championships 2018

#3 seeded, Boe and Mogensen, is out of the tournament, not really that surprising. No convincing results in the last months and they didn't had the best preparations for the WCH.

 Also #8 seeded, Astrup and Rasmussen, is out. Defeated by an unseeded  pair. Not the best tournament for our men's doubles. Last hope is #6 seeded Conrad-Petersen and Colding 

Btw congratulations to  and

Carolina Marín wins 2-0 (21-7, 21-13) against Sayaka Sato  and she advances to quarterfinals. Tomorrow she will try to achieve the 3rd medal for Spanish badminton!

Next up for Marin is Saina in her eighth straight QF. Hopefully, Saina would be able to win her 3rd WC medal

Sindhu vs Nozomi and Saina vs Marin. Interesting QF lineups. Repeat of last two WC finals.

Carolina Marín  2-0 (21-6, 21-11) against Saina Nehwal and moves to the semifinals! Third World medal for Carolina, and consequently for Spanish badminton

Well our biggest hope for a medal, Victor Axelsen, the defending world champion, is out. He lost to #8 seeded Chen Long.

Early today, #4 seeded   Christiansen and Pedersen lost to #5 seeded  Zhang and Li.

The last Danish pair/players at WCH Conrad-Petersen and Kolding play later today against #2 seeded Liu and Zhang.

Time to say goodbye to the last Danish pair/players at WCH Conrad-Petersen and Kolding. They we're defeated by #2 seeded Liu and Zhang in three sets (21-13,14-21, 21-18).

A bit disappointing WCH for the Danish team. We hoped for 1 or 2 medals, but goes home empty-handed. 

 

This also means there is only one European player left at WCH Carolina Marín. Vamos Carolina! 

Hopefully she will continue her great play. Good luck to Carolina and @Cobi

Japan is secured 6 medals at this WCH. Two more than last year in Glasgow, and most medals Japan has ever won at a WCH!
