Lamsfuss and Lohau Make History at the BWF World Championships

In an exceptional performance at the TotalEnergies BWF World Championships 2022 in Tokyo, the German duo of Mark Lamsfuss and Isabel Lohau achieved their highest world ranking of No.9 and secured Germany’s first-ever medal in a paired event. Their sensational journey to the bronze was marked by defeating defending champions Puavaranukroh/Taerattanachai and showcasing their skills and determination on the court.

Historic Medal-Winning Achievement

Lamsfuss and Lohau made history by becoming the first German pair to win a medal in the doubles category at the World Championships. Their strong performance throughout the tournament, culminating in a victory over Hong Kong China’s Tang Chun Man/Tse Ying Suet in the quarterfinals, left them elated and proud of their accomplishment.

“For Germany, it’s a huge achievement,” said Lamsfuss. “It has never happened before in the doubles category, so we are very happy to be the ones to take the first medal.”

Seizing the Initiative

The key to Lamsfuss and Lohau’s success in Tokyo was their ability to seize the initiative and not show too much respect for their opponents. This approach was evident in their victory over defending champions Puavaranukroh/Taerattanachai, whom they had previously lost to in all six career meetings. However, in a stunning turn of events, the Germans dominated the match and claimed victory in straight games.

“We were really encouraged to step up, step forward, and not be too low and late on the shuttle,” explained Lohau. “We also knew they had a lot of pressure as the reigning world champions. So we knew that mentally there was a big chance for us to play well and win here.”

Trust and Enjoyment on the Court

Lamsfuss and Lohau’s strong bond and trust in each other played a crucial role in their success. Even in tense moments during the match, they maintained a positive attitude, enjoying the game and supporting each other. This mindset helped them overcome challenges and ultimately emerge as winners.

“It is a lot of fun on court, you could see us smiling, even though at 19-18 we made a mistake… but we’re still smiling and enjoying the game, and this helped us a lot on court. There are really a lot of emotions,” said Lamsfuss.

“I know that at the end of the game, we are there. And I can count on Isabel 100 percent. I know she’s doing the right stuff there. And then it’s easy for me actually, just to be behind her and have her back,” he added.

A historic achievement for Germany.

A Promising Future

The bronze medal at the BWF World Championships is a significant addition to Lamsfuss and Lohau’s already impressive list of achievements. Earlier this year, they secured back-to-back titles at the Swiss Open and the European Championships. With the next World Championships and Olympics set to take place in Europe, the German duo will undoubtedly be ones to watch in the upcoming events.
