European players conclude World Youth Championship
Europe’s campaign at the YONEX BWF World Junior Championships 2024 concluded after the quarterfinals. The top-seeded mixed doubles pair, Tom Lalot Trescarte and Elsa Jacob (FRA), were the last European hopes, making their way from the Round of 128 before bowing out in the quarters.
The duo has had an impressive year, securing several titles, including the FZ FORZA Alpes International U19 2024 and the senior-level VICTOR Latvia International 2023.
The YONEX BWF World Junior Championships have long been a platform for future badminton stars, with past champions like Viktor Axelsen (DEN), Chen Yu Fei (CHN), Gregoria Tunjung (INA), Kunlavut Vitidsarn (THA), Kento Momota (JPN), and more.
Though no European players took home a title this time, the growing talent pool across Europe shows a promising future for the continent’s badminton scene.
