In the final of the 2025 European Badminton Mixed Team Championships held in Baku on the 16th local time, Denmark continued its European hegemony and won 6 consecutive championships, while France never won the first championship of this event.
On the 16th, Denmark continued its dominance in the European Badminton Mixed Team Championships, and Antonsen (pictured) defeated Lanier for the first time in straight games in the second men's singles matchup.
In the final of the European Badminton Mixed Team Championships on the same day, the three consecutive tournaments were contested by the hegemon Denmark and the upstart France, and the defending champion Denmark quickly ended the battle in the first three matches, with Toft and McGrande, Men's Singles Antonsen and Women's Singles Ryan. Christophersen scored the victory. This is Denmark's sixth consecutive victory in the European mixed team competition after 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023, and it is also the 20th championship in the history of the "Cold Dragons" team in this competition.
France, on the other hand, will once again fail to reach the European mixed team competition for the first time in their history, losing to Denmark in the finals in 2021, 2023 and 2025. In the first match of the campaign, France's mixed doubles powerhouse Gquair and Drew lost 11-21, 21-18, 15-21 to Denmark's Toft and McGrande, who are ranked No. 13 in the world.
The second men's singles match was undoubtedly the highlight of the day, with the 27-year-old Antonsen being the most recent (2024) European Championships men's singles hegemon, and the 20-year-old Ranier rising in the second half of last season. World No. 2 Antonsen avenged his first defeat of world No. 17 Lanier 21-19, 21-18 to avenge the defeats at the 2023 Badminton Super 300 in Orleans, France and last year's Arctic Badminton Super 500.
In the third women's singles, world No. 36 Ryan . Christophersen won four straight victories 21-16, 21-14 against world No. 63 Hutthou, to seal Denmark's 3-0 victory.
Denmark, on the other hand, has successfully defended its title without two-time Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen Axelsen and world No. 1 Astrup and Anders Rasmussen in men's doubles, and its dominance in Europe cannot be shaken.
