Spanish badminton shone once again on the final day of the El Salvador International, a tournament in which Manu Vázquez’s pupils have won gold, silver and bronze.
The golden metal has arrived thanks to the mixed doubles of Ania Setién and Joan Monroy, who has authoritatively surpassed the Indian couple of Tarun and Priya (21-11 and 21-17). The Spaniards have dominated the match until sentencing it without giving their rivals a chance.
