On February 18, Beijing time (the ninth day of the first lunar month), the men's and women's team finals of the 2024 European Badminton Team Championships ended in Lodz, Poland, and the Danish team, the "standout" of European badminton, defended its title again after 2020. The French men's team and the Spanish women's team were the runners-up.
The women's team final of the European team competition was the first to start, and the Spanish women's team led by the world champion Marin challenged the Danish women's team. Marin opened the scoring for Spain with a 2-0 (21-19 21-12) win over Denmark's Women's Singles Jakesfield in the first match. Spain then lost three games in a row, Azumendi lost 0:2 (12-21 19-21) to Denmark's Mia, Corrales 0:2 (9-21 16-21) Mia, Lopez Lucia 0:2 (13-21 13-21) Emily Bousch.
In the men's team final at 22 o'clock in the evening Beijing time, Denmark swept France 3:0 and easily defended the title to achieve a "hegemonic" streak. In the first game, Antonsen easily beat Popov 2-0 (21-15 21-15), in the second game Men's Doubles against Denmark's Astrup Anders easily defeated France's Corvé Labar 2-0 (21-13 21-13), and in the third game Denmark's second singles Gemke defeated Popov Jr. 2-1 (14-21 22-20 21-9).
Since then, the 2024 European Badminton Team Championships has once again ended with Denmark's "hegemon" streak, and it is still the only one in the European badminton world. In recent years, France has emerged in the badminton world, with young players such as the Popov brothers and rookie Lanier full of competitiveness.
