🇨🇭 8 Swiss players, 8 medals for Switzerland! 🇨🇭
What a weekend in Denmark at the World Doubles Championships and the Nordic Racket Games!
🏆 World Doubles Championships
Switzerland collected medals almost as reliably as players collect sore muscles after a long tournament weekend.
In the elite categories, Switzerland claimed two bronze medals:
🥉 Nicole Eisler won bronze in the Women Elite Doubles together with Izzy Bramhall from England.
🥉 Nicolas Lenggenhager reached the podium in the Men Elite Doubles alongside Matěj Volf from the Czech Republic.
But Nicole was far from done: in the Women +40 Doubles, she won her first World Championship title in women’s doubles. In the same category, Adeline Kilchenmann secured silver together with Kirsten Kaptein from the Netherlands.
Another World Championship title went to Graham King, who won gold in the Men +70 Doubles with Julian Clapp from England. And because stopping after one medal would have been too easy, Graham also added bronze in the Men +65 Doubles.
There was also plenty of brother power: Léon and Noah Mamié produced strong performances in the Men Elite Doubles and finished in an excellent 6th place.
Also finishing 6th were Andreas Kotala and his brother — and tournament newcomer — Petr Kotala in the Men B Doubles.
🇩🇰 Nordic Racket Games
After two intense days of doubles, some of the toughest Swiss players continued straight into the Nordic Racket Games.
Nicolas Lenggenhager once again proved that tiredness is apparently optional. On days 3 and 4, he confirmed his excellent form and secured a sensational 3rd place.
And the most dramatic moment? Graham King’s gold medal via gummiarm challenge. Maximum tension, shaking nerves, and a proper show for the crowd.
And overall?
Great venue. Great food. Great atmosphere. Slightly damaged bodies. Excellent medal haul.
In short: everything good.
Congratulations to all Swiss players on a fantastic weekend! 🇨🇭🔥
