Historical success in Croatian badminton! Aria Dinat took bronze at the European Championship
Croatia has never won a medal in the history of senior European or world championships, and thus this historic success for the Croatian badminton. This moment happened when Aria Daniel Dinat won the European Championship semi-finals, with a victory over Fince Joakim Oldorff, a reversal against the former medal winner of the European Festival (21-19).
The moment the Finn had 1-0 in the games and 18-15 in the second game, few believed that half an hour later the Croatian representative would celebrate a historic medal. With six points in a series of Dinat, he leveled the result, and then most of the third game was hunted by the result, until the final when he won two tied match-lopte. Oldorff saved the first, and then sent a ball to the car and celebration at the Croatian camp at his service could begin.
Dinat was later defeated in the semifinals of French Tome Junior Popov, which has ended his incredible trip in Denmark. The fourth holder was better than the Croatian national team with a ratio of 21-11, 21-13. After a physically exhausting match against Joakim Oldorff on Friday, and psychic discharge after printing history and winning the first senior medal for Croatia in a major competition, Dinat was unable to surprise the best European.
Recall that Dinat was a native of Indonesia, and he arrived in Croatia less than three years ago and in the meantime gained citizenship. In this relatively short period, his badminton levels rose to the extent that he is equally caught up in the best players of Europe, currently being among the top 50 players on the world charts. With this result, Dinat has secured the entry among the top 100 in the world.
This success has made a great contribution, especially the coach Igor Kambur, who worked hard with Dinat since the first day of his arrival, and who was with him and in the Danish Horse. This is the second medal for Pembura at European Championships, after winning gold with Badminton Katarina Galenic and Maja Pavlinic in women in women’s couples up to 17 years old
