The YONEX Italian Open 2025 took place last week, and we had a diverse set of Europeans claiming the top spots.

It was all Europeans on top of the podium this Sunday, the final day at the International Series tournament in Bolzano, Italy. The fact that it was five different European nations that claimed gold this tournament is something we celebrate as it showcases the wide-ranging talent across European nations in the badminton world.

The nations claiming gold were Türkiye, Denmark, Spain, Bulgaria, and France.
