ShuttleSquad goes Thomas & Uber Cup. We had the chance to witness the Team World Championships of Badminton live last week in Horsens, Denmark. During that time we had the chance to record a guest episode with Danish mixed doubles player and World no.7 Mathias Christiansen. We talked about the Thomas Cup on home soil, the expectation that the Danish public had before the tournament and what it means for the team to play this big event on home soil. The episode was recorded after the second group match of Denmark. After 20 minutes we switch topics and talk about Mathias' career, the crazy comeback after his one year suspension and upcoming goals, the new scoring system and what elements it takes to create the perfect mixed doubles player.Make sure to like, comment and subscribe to not miss any news! #badminton #shuttlesquad #podcast

Did this really happen? France fumble their first group match in the Thomas Cup and lose to Thailand 1-4. After beating Algeria they have their backs against the wall and need to win 4-1 against Indonesia... impossible?! Not for this French team! They somehow pull it off and advance to the quarterfinals of the Thomas Cup in Horsens, Denmark. We had to call in Christo and Toma Junior Popov to discuss what just happened.
