Swiss Badminton recently hosted a unique media event in Engelberg during the YONEX Swiss Open 2019. This event marked the countdown to the TOTAL BWF World Championships 2019 and BWF Para-Badminton World Championships, which will be held at St. Jakobshalle, Basel. Instead of Bollywood stars, the cameras focused on some of the best Indian and Swiss badminton players who showcased their skills in a thrilling match.
Mt. Titlis, famous as a production site for Bollywood films, attracts a significant number of Indian tourists each year. It was only fitting, then, that Indian badminton stars Parupalli Kashyap and Sai Praneeth B. teamed up with Swiss No.1 Sabrina Jaquet and Swiss Para badminton athlete Karin Suter-Erath for an exhibition match in the stunning Swiss Alps.
