‘European C’ships Gold Is A Very Calming Thing’: Scotland Badminton Star Kirsty Gilmour On Moving Beyond Silver
BWF World Championship: For years, Kirsty Gilmour's career had been defined by how close she came. With five European Championship silver medals, another bronze, and countless near-misses, the Scottish shuttler had become accustomed to being the one just short of the top step. Gilmour finally won European Championship gold in Huelva, beating Denmark's Line Højmark Kjærsfeldt 21-17, 21-15 to become Scotland's first European women's singles champion.
And four months on, the significance of that breakthrough is still sinking in.
“I think so. For me, it's very nice. I think I've spent a lot of my career being defined by silver medals. And nearly, and almost. But I think it's really nice to have something on my CV that is definitive,” Gilmour told reporters on the sidelines of the BWF World Championships at the Indira Gandhi Stadium.
