On the night of July 26, badminton smiled on the French represented with the victories of Xuefei Qi, Delphine Delrue and Thom Gicquel.
It’s a good Olympic day and also a good night for badminton viewers. The three Frenchmen who distinguished themselves on July 26 all won. The first good news reached us at 3:42 am when Xuefei Qi won both rounds against Swiss representative Sabrina Jacquet (21-10 and 21-14). This success boosted his chances of reaching the knockout stages.
The second good news arrives at 7:22 am when the mixed duo composed of Delphine Delrue and Thom Gicquel, wins against the Canadian pair made up of Joshua Hurlburt-Yu and Josephine Wu. A victory obtained thanks to two victorious heats also (21-12 and 21-13). However, this result does not allow the mixed duo to pass the qualifying hens.
