Money for Mathias Bonny. Associated with Céline Burkart in mixed doubles, Chaux-de-Fonnier returns from the Swiss badminton championships with a medal. The duo lost the title final on Sunday in Mutschellen. He lost to the pair of Minh Quang Pham and Caroline Racloz 19-21, 21-18, 21-10.
Disappointment on the other hand on the side of the other Neuchâtel badeners who hoped to shine this weekend in the canton of Aargau. Doubles title holders Mathias Bonny and Gilles Tripet were eliminated in the quarter-finals on Saturday. Also in search of medals during these national games, the brothers Maxime and Loris Pierrehumbert returned empty-handed. /jpp
