Carolina Marín clinches fourth European badminton championship – in her namesake stadium
29/04/2018
SPAIN'S unstoppable Carolina Marín has just won her fourth consecutive European Championship – the first female in badminton in history to achieve this incredible feat.
Bionic Carolina, who will be 25 in June, took the gold in just 35 minutes after dispatching Russia's Evgeniya Kosetskaya by 21-15 and 21-7.
Even more special than beating the record of three European championships on the trot set by Denmark's Camilla Martin in 1996, 1998 and 2000 was the fact that Carolina's swift victory took place in the stadium named after her in her native city of Huelva in Spain's far south-west.
The Olympic gold medallist has always dreamed of winning a major championship title in front of her local people on home turf, although she had never imagined this would happen in the Carolina Marín Stadium, which was packed out with over 4,000 spectators.
She thanked 'everyone who came along' and said she hopoed they had 'enjoyed the whole of the European championship tournament'.
