Silver in the Future Series: A woman from Val Venosta celebrates in Latvia

The Vinschger native, who recently graduated from the “Claudia von Medici” high school center (with the highest score of 100), moved to Milan at the end of July and is training there at the national badminton Olympic base. Together with her new doubles partner from BC Milano, Martina Corsini, she played a successful Future Series tournament in Latvia. Although they still have little practice together, after a rather easy opening game in the second round they managed a surprise in which they were able to beat the number 2 seeded Ukrainians Rudacova/Prozorova in two sets 21:15 21:19. The two Ukrainians won the bronze medal at the 2018 Junior European Championships in Tallin. Another win against a Norwegian pair secured them a place in the semi-finals. In the semifinals they defeated the number three seeded pairing from Poland Kwasnik/Marczak in two sets 21:14 21:17. In the final they faced a doubles pairing from Malaysia, which once again demonstrated the Asian supremacy in badminton. The first set was clearly lost 7:21 - in the second set Mair/Corsini were able to play on equal terms, but still lost 21:17. The association did not expect to reach the final A side detail: The Italian Badminton Association had to extend the stay of the two doubles players because they had not expected them to reach the final. While the rest of the Italian national team went home, Mair/Corsini, coached by national coach Wisnu Hary Putro, played in the semi-finals and finals and thus won this silver medal and a few points for the women's doubles rankings.
