Let it sink in. That’s a fact that needs to be savoured, probed, teased, tingling parts of the palate that have never known this taste.
Christo Popov has entered territory that none of his predecessors have. Not in the 92 years that the French Badminton Federation (FFBaD) has been around.
It’s an achievement that can’t be overstated. A Frenchman, ranked higher than the best from China, Indonesia, Denmark, or any of the other powerhouses.
