Carolina Marín 2024 has started like a shot. After his ordeal of injuries and everything that has happened to his body, that he has forced him to be far from the slopes and came to keep it away from the best positions in the rankingin this Olympic year He has found his touch again and is little by little reaching his best level face to the parisian date from the end of July – the competition begins on July 27 – and the beginning of August. After winning the All England, one of the best badminton tournaments in the world, and the Swiss Openthe Huelva native now faces the European, where she is by far the great favorite and anything less than a win would be a big surprise.
The road to his seventh continental crown started with a very comfortable victory, 21-6 and 21-7, over the Scottish Rachel Sugden176 in the world, in 23 minutes. The Spaniard defended her status from the first point, with two streaks of five and seven points, but she did not let go and continued to increase the advantage until she took the initial set, while in the second, Sugden remained close until the 5th. -4, when Marín he deployed his game again and only allowed his rival to add three more points. Certifying a victory that, no matter how expected, is no longer very useful looking ahead to what awaits him these days in Saarbrücken. The first seed in the tournament and number five in the world rankingwill play in the round of 16 against the winner of the clash between the Hungarian Vivien Sandorhazi, 83rd in the world, and the Bulgarian Kalyona Nalbantova, who is ranked 84th.

Precisely The great objective of the Huelva native is to reach number 4which is currently occupied by the Japanese Yamaguchiand that would allow him to face the Olympic Games as seeded in a much more advantageous position. In Paris he will once again look for a gold medal that he won in 2016and could not defend in Tokyo due to an injury. There is even the possibility that it is the standard bearer, if Maialen Chorraut declines the opportunitysince he has to compete just the day after the ceremony.
Heads and tails
If in the women’s category Marín’s victory is very positive, Pablo Abián was not so lucky, who lost in his debut against the Frenchman Toma Popov, by 10-21 and 9-21; although in women’s doubles Paula López and Lucía Rodríguez won por 21-15 y 21-16 a las polecas Kornelia Marczak and Paulina Hankiewicz.
