European Championships in Saarbrücken (Germany). Anne Tran/Margot Lambert (No. 19/seeded No. 2) – Gabriela Stoeva/Stefani Stoeva (No. 22/seeded No. 3): 16-21, 21-17, 21-11

Facing the Bulgarian pair composed of the Stoeva sisters (Gabriela and Stefani), seeded number 3 and three-time reigning European champions, Anne Tran and Margot Lambert created the feat to become European badminton champions in Saarbrücken ( Germany). Despite losing the first set, the French reacted well to win the next two sets in the final. After their bronze medal at the European Games in 2023, Tran and Lambert add to their list of achievements with the best title of their careers. Following the success of Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue, France won a second gold medal. Unfortunately, there will be no French hat-trick because Toma Junior Popov, following his prestigious success against world number one Viktor Axelsen, lost to the Dane Anders Antonsen (18-21, 13-21).
