[15] I told him: That was sh*t! - with Christo Popov
Christo Popov went through an emotional rollercoaster in the recent weeks. From being on track to qualify for the Olympic Games in two disciplines, to being not qualified in either of them, and now back to hoping to go in men's doubles together with his brother Toma Junior. It's been a crazy ride and Christo & Thommy break down the final days of the Olympic qualification and also the crazy plot twist that came up a few days later. Enjoy!

[14] Rushing through the Olympic showdown - with Selena Piek
Selena and Thommy are in holiday mode. The European Championships are over and marked a crazy ending to the Olympic qualification period. Selena will be playing her third Olympic Games in summer, but first: IBIZA!
It's the shortest episode of ShuttleSquad so far but definitely worth listening. Enjoy! -
[13] Floating through the Europeans - with Kirsty Gilmour
European Championships are stressful. So stressful that Thommy and Kirsty recorded this episode on Monday, but didn't find time to push it out until Friday + there is no intro + the audio quality would need some serious post production effort (it gets better after a few minutes). Kirsty is on her road to another Europeans medal and Thommy is trying to stay on top of all the media work that he and his team get done in Saarbrücken (check @badminton_ec24 on Insta). It's a bit of a hustle this week but the episode is too good to not publish it and that is why we just pushed it out as it was. Enjoy!

[12] It all comes down to this - with Christo Popov
If you see this, Thommy didn't fuck up this time :D The long anticipated episode with Christo Popov comes to you a week prior to the final and deciding tournament of the Olympic Qualification: the European Championships in Saarbrücken. Thommy and Christo recapped some highlights of Christo's successful weeks recently and are obviously talking a lot about the upcoming week. What are the chances to qualify in singles and doubles, how's the mental state after an exhausting period and why can we all be glad that Christo still has his eyesight? Find out in episode 12 of ShuttleSquad! Enjoy!

[11] Injuries, draws and trout - with Marvin Seidel
The European Championships on home soil are just around the corner for team Germany, but the circumstances and conditions are not as promising as the hosting country hoped for. Thommy and Marvin talk about concerning injuries and some unlucky draws. They analyse the title favourites in each discipline and look forward to exciting duels. Marvin just sealed the Olympic qualification and looks ahead to preparing for Paris24. Enjoy!

50% of the ShuttleSquad going to the semifinals of the legendary All England in Birmingham? What a crazy week!

What do Selena and Thommy think about the flash scandal in the quarterfinals? And why did Joachim Fischer Nielsen want to jump into the canal next to the arena? Find out in episode 10 of ShuttleSquad. Enjoy!
