Less than four months of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the misadventure of the Ronan Labar-Lucas Corvée duo caused a shock wave in the French badminton world. Despite their first place after the European Championships played in Germany from April 8 to 14, the French pair find themselves second in the men’s doubles ranking behind the Popov brothers.
Very bad news since only one duo, the one in the lead, qualifies for the Olympics. In all likelihood, a calculation error by the International Badminton Federation (BWF) is to blame.
“We are disgusted”
Lucas Corvée did not hide his immense disappointment in the columns of Parisian. “We are disgusted, returned. The International Federation did not even send us its decision directly, which we learned about indirectly. No one tried to contact us. Their approach lacks humanity. These excuses, at the bottom of a press release, are too easy as our Olympic dream comes, perhaps, to faint through his fault. We do not accept it and we do not accept its conclusions either. »
Almost faultless for the French today ��
The doubles ADAM/ROSSI and POPOV/POPOV join the 8ths.
Unfortunately, the LABAR/CORVEE duo ends the competition today.
