The men’s doubles matches proved to be challenging, with slow shuttle speed making it difficult to achieve quick winners. Just as the Koreans displayed excellent steadiness in their match against Gideon and Sukamuljo, the Germans showcased the same virtues in their victory over the Japanese pair. Lamsfuss and Seidel maintained their lead throughout the decider, ultimately winning the match 21-17, 20-22, 21-19.
Lamsfuss expressed his exhaustion after playing two tough matches the previous day but credited their victory to their unwavering focus and determination. He also highlighted the advantage of playing in the slower hall, where they could rely on their defensive skills and take their time to execute strategic shots.

The slow shuttle speed favored defensive players, making it easier for underdogs to put up a fight.
