Golden Shuttlers bounce back to winning ways at World Juniors
GHANA’S Golden Shuttlers bounced back to winning ways at the ongoing 2026 BWF World Junior Championships in Cairo, Egypt, recording three successive victories in the Mixed Team Relay after losing their opening three matches.
The Golden Shuttlers started their campaign with defeats to Chinese Taipei, New Zealand and Azerbaijan, leaving the team under pressure to recover in their remaining matches.
The team responded in impressive fashion, defeating their African counterparts, Algeria, 2-0, with set wins of 55-24 and 54-29 on Wednesday.
The momentum continued yesterday when they maintained their winning run with another 2-0 victory over Austria, winning 55-53 and 55-45 respectively.
Later in the evening, the team completed a remarkable day of victories by defeating hosts Egypt 2-0. They won the first game 55-54 and the second 55-41.
The Golden Shuttlers will now look to build on their impressive turnaround when they compete in the men’s singles, women’s singles, mixed doubles, men’s doubles and women’s doubles events as they seek to accumulate points for the world rankings.
