The Ángel Nieto pavilion will host a new national Badminton competition this weekend; specifically the N3 National Master of Badminton City of Zamora, in the absolute category, which will take place tomorrow and the day after in the municipal pavilion and which has been presented today at the town hall by the Councilor for Sports, Manuel Alexander Alonso, and the president of the Zamora Badminton Club, Aitor Llandres.
For the Councilor for Sports, it is a good opportunity to enjoy a different and very showy sport, in which there is an increasing number of fans. For this reason, he thanked Aitor Llandres for his work at the head of the Zamorano club, which he had already organized last June in Zamora and with great success in participating in the scoring championship for the national ranking.
Alonso also stressed that from the Department itself, special support was given to this type of sports competitions that are not the majority but that contribute to generating a hobby among the boys and girls of the city. He also showed his gratitude to the Federation for choosing Zamora for this competition and encouraged all the city’s fans to come to the Ángel Nito pavilion this weekend to enjoy this competition “which is spectacular”.
The competitions will begin tomorrow from 9:30 in the morning, in the different phases and modalities, continuously until around 7 or 8 in the afternoon. And on Sunday morning, also from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., the semifinals and finals will be played.
Registrations reach around a hundred players from different parts of Spain; and although Llandres stated that Carolina Marín will not be present, she did assure that the participation is very good “both in number and quality”, since the main national players will be present.
The president of Badminton Zamora highlighted the work that is being carried out by the club for the development of this competition, which involves great organizational work, but assured that everything is ready to offer a good competition.
Precisely this organizational work has made it difficult for Aitor Llandres himself to participate in the competition, for which he assured that he has “that thorn stuck”, but he was convinced that if he organizes them again he will also prepare to compete.
