Badminton: South Tyrol's young talent is top

“SSV Bozen has managed to be a worthy replacement for Milan. The organization was perfect,” praised association president Alberto Miglietta. And the representative of the main sponsor Yonex, the world's most important badminton supplier, even said that the town hall would also be suitable for a European Championship because the playing conditions there would not be any better.

Around 200 players between the ages of 11 and 19 from all over Italy fought some exciting duels in around 300 games. Once again, the South Tyrolean dominance could not be shaken: 16 out of 20 gold medals went to the South Tyroleans. With nine titles, Mals was once again the strongest club, Meran won seven gold medals.

The organizer won one silver and three bronze medals and was pleased to have five other medal winners who train at the South Tyrol Badminton School (SBS) in Bolzano. These include the U13 Italian doubles champion, David Spornberger from Merano.

Mals won all five titles in the juniors (U19) category. The most successful individual player was David Salutt. (U17). The Merano native was the only player to win all three disciplines, i.e. singles, doubles and mixed.
