Parabadminton European Championships 2023: Medal Haul and Finalists

Tables SL3
It will be the bronze for Mathieu THOMAS (n°8) and Coraline BERGERON (n°10) in singles, the fault of the Ukrainians. The French lost in half against Oleksandr CHYRKOV (n°7) 16/21, 14/21, just like Coraline, opposed to Oksana KOZYNA (n°4), 7/21 9/21.

Tableaux SL4
We will have two title shots in singles SL4! Lucas MAZUR (n°1) confirms his status and qualifies against Diogo DANIEL (n°26) (21/14 21/10). In the final he will defend his title against Rickard NILSSON (n°9 – Sweden), whom he has already beaten 7 times in as many matches. Among the women, it will be Milena SURREAU (n°8) who will represent France. After a draw which had placed all the Habs in the same part of the table, it was Milena who managed to come out on top, winning against Faustine NOEL (n°5), 21/19 21/15 . La Rennaise leaves, meanwhile, with the bronze. In the final, Milena will face Helle Sofie SAGOEY (n°2 – Norway), to whom she lost twice in 2022.

SU5 tables
Full box for single SU5 also. Meril LOQUETTE (n°5) reached the final thanks to a snatch victory in half 21/15 15/21 21/15. He will play for the title against the Pole Bartłomiej MROZ (n°8), an opponent he knows well having beaten him 5 times in 8 confrontations. A good omen for the final. As for Maud LEFORT (n°3), she easily won in the half to join Cathrine ROSENGREN (n°2) again in the final. The French has revenge to take on the Dane, who deprived her of gold in early August at the 4 Nations.

Doubles tables SL3 – SL4 – SU5
The two men’s doubles reach the finals. First of all Mathieu THOMAS and Guillaume GAILLY (n°7 – SL3-SL4) win in the half and will meet the pair NILSSON/SMITH for the first time. Then, the SU5 men’s doubles Meril LOQUETTE/Lucas MAZUR joined the finals, where they will be opposed to Bartłomiej MROZ and David Jack WILSON.

In double ladies SL3-SU5, the Marseille player is already assured. The duos Coraline BERGERON/Maud LEFORT and Lénaïg MORIN/Milena SURREAU will meet in the final. Catherine NAUDIN, who was in duet with a Portuguese player, was defeated by the pair MORIN / SURREAU and took the bronze.

Finally, in mixed SL3-SU5, the European Champions, Lucas MAZUR and Faustine NOEL (n°2) join the finals to defend their title, after eliminating their compatriots Mathieu THOMAS and Maud LEFORT, who leave with the bronze. In the final, Lucas and Faustine will meet the pair NILSSON/SAGOEY (n°18), against whom they won twice, but also lost twice.

HS6 Tables
Charles NOAKES (n°5) will have the opportunity to try his luck for a European title. After defeating an Englishman in the semi-finals (21/13 21/6), he will meet another in the final. Faced with Jack SHEPARD (n°4), he will have every chance after having already beaten him twice recently. In mixed, Charles and Elisa BUJNOWSKYJ (n°12) were defeated by the SZMIGIEL/COOMBS pair and won the bronze.

Tables WH1-WH2
With wear and tear, David TOUPE qualifies for the European WH1 final (20/22 19/21 10/21). The Frenchman (n°8) will find the German Thomas WANDSCHNEIDER (n°4) there. In 8 direct confrontations, David has not yet won. He will be able to achieve the double since he also qualified in men’s doubles WH1-WH2 with Thomas JAKOBS (17/21 21/18 21/6). Les Bleus (n°4) will meet the Germans Rick Cornell HELLMANN/Thomas WANDSCHNEIDER (n°3) in the final. In singles WH2, Thomas JAKOBS did not manage to find the solution and finished as a bonze.

On the women’s side, the tricolor duo MAUREL / ETAVARD -GLEMP bows and also leaves in bronze. Same scenario for Marilou MAUREL in mixed, associated with a Czech player.
