Olympics Day 6: Who will advance to the knockout stages?
Today is the sixth day of badminton competition. After some amazing performances by several European players, including Toma Junior Popov, the Stoeva sisters and Maiken Fruergaard/Sara Thygesen, We have another great European game coming up.
Women’s Doubles
Chen Qing Chen / Jia Yi Fan [1] (CHN) vs Gabriela Stoeva / Stefani Stoeva (BUL)
Sara Thygesen / Maiken Fruergaard (DEN) vs Nami Matsuyama / Chiharu Shida [4] (JPN)
The two women’s doubles quarterfinals involving European players ended in two sets. Sadly, this means we have to say goodbye to a European women’s doubles medal. However, we would like to emphasize that these two women’s doubles have made great achievements in coming out of the group stage in such a fierce competition!
Later in the day we will have three more matches in the knockout stages with European participation.
