29-year-old Marvin Seidel and his partner have sadly lost their newborn twins shortly after birth. Seidel shared the heartbreaking news himself in an Instagram post published last night
“Our twins, Clara and Jacob, were with us for only a few days but brought more love than we ever thought possible. We grieve deeply yet will always be grateful for the time we had with them.”

On behalf of Badminton Europe, we would like to take this moment to extend our heartfelt condolences to Marvin Seidel, his partner, and their family.

The 2022 European Champion, Marvin Seidel, had been qualified to play at the World Championships in Paris in 10 days but had withdrawn earlier this summer due to an injury to his doublespartner, Daniel Hess.
