The recently confirmed European Championship in Madrid 2022 will be disputed from April 25 to 30 at the Gallur Municipal Sports Center, and the Spanish Federation has announced the Spanish athletes classified for the event, trusting that Carolina Marín will lead the ‘Armada’. The triple national presence in the women’s individual stands out, to which two representatives are added in the men’s individual, in addition to the male and female couple.
In men’s singles They will be Pablo Abián (Recreativo IES La Orden) and Kike Peñalver; in females, Carolina Marín, Clara Azurmendi and Beatriz Corrales; in men’s doubles Carlos Piris-Joan Monroy and in women’s, Clara Azurmendi-Bea Corrales.
This appointment may mean the return of Carolina Marín to the tapestry after the knee injury that prevented her from participating in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and the Huelva 2021 World Championship. In this case, the champion from Huelva could enlarge her legend even more , as he would fight for his sixth consecutive continental European. Madrid 2022 will also be a special date for Pablo Abián, who is contesting his 11th continental championship. It should also be noted that the rest of the classified Spanish athletes come from competing in the 2021 Huelva World Championship, an event in which Kike Peñalver was the most prominent national representative.
At the moment Spain does not have any classified mixed couplebut will have it after the request of the Spanish Badminton Federation of the Wild Card (invitation) corresponding to the organizing country.
