China take three golds at Badminton Asia Championships
With three golds, three silvers, and seven bronze medals, China's badminton team asserted its dominance in the 2024 Badminton Asia Championships, here on Sunday.
Last month, the 27-year-old Olympic gold medallist had resumed training and her eyes are set on defending her gold medal at the Tokyo Games.
Rio Olympic gold medallist Carolina Marin has lost her father Gonzalo Marin Perez, who had met with an accident in February. According to the Spanish Badminton Federation (FESBA), Marin’s father passed away in the early hours of Sunday.
“The Spanish Badminton Federation wishes to express its regret at the death of Gonzalo Marin Perez, father of Carolina Marin. After a long period of struggle since he suffered an accident in February, Gonzalo has not been able to overcome the consequences of it, dying at dawn on Sunday, July 26,” FESBA wrote on its website in Spanish.
“The Spanish badminton extends its support to Carolina Marin and all her family in these difficult moments,” it added.
