Happy Times at the Badminton Final Press Conference

Being runner up is a bitter pill, but it’s much easier to swallow when you’re in a situation like we witnessed today at Badminton.

With Michael Jung and La Biosthetique Sam FBW sweeping the win by a whopping nine points on the lowest Badminton finishing score EVER, you had to hand to the guy — he earned it, fair and square. And with a historic Rolex Grand Slam on the line, who coulda resist cheering him on?

On either side of Michael at the final press conference today: German teammate Andreas Ostholt, who finished 2nd with So Es It, and Great Britain’s Gemma Tattersall, who came third on Arctic Soul.
