France Achieves Historic Double Gold at BWF World Championships

France made history at the BWF World Championships held in New Delhi by winning two gold medals, a remarkable achievement for the nation in badminton.

Alex Lanier clinched gold in the men's singles final against Japan's Kodai Naraoka, contributing to France's first double gold at the championships. This victory follows a long history where France had only earned two medals in the previous 29 editions of the event.

The mixed doubles team also secured a gold medal, prompting celebrations among the players and supporters. Despite the success, the players expressed that they do not expect a large welcome upon their return, acknowledging the lower profile of badminton compared to sports like football and basketball.
