Badminton: brother and sister, Delphine and Fabien Delrue defend France’s chances at the Tokyo Worlds

Never neglect the association forum when it comes to finding a sport for a child at the beginning of September. It is through this channel that Delphine found her way into badminton at the age of 7 and trained her younger brother Fabien, 17 months her junior, a few years later. “I had done dance the year before and it was not at all for me”, laughs Delphine, 23, who today forms, with the Breton Thom Gicquel, the 9th world pair of mixed doubles. Either the best French chance in any international competition.
