WDF World Cup Women Pairs 2023

The 23rd edition of the WDF World Cup was held in Esbjerg in Denmark. From 26 to 30 September the tournament was played at the Blue Water Dokken in Esbjerg. The tournament was initially going to be held in 2021, but the global corona pandemic forced the tournament to be postponed by two years.

Three countries are making their debut this World Cup. The Faroe Islands, Guernsey, and Liechtenstein. Marco Meijer from the Netherlands and Christian Sørensen from Denmark. The Netherlands is the defending champion in the mens event. For the women it is England defending its title and for the youth England was also the strongest in 2019.

The big favourites ahead of the tournament fully fulfill this role. Beau Greaves & Deta Hedman hardly encounter any problems on their way to gold. They lose a total of four legs in six matches. The closest come Aileen de Graaf & Anca Zijlstra is in the semi-finals, but they also have to settle for just two legs.

In the final, the surprising Finnish duo Sari Sauvola & Kirsi Viinikainen were defeated 6-1. The Finnish ladies are writing a piece of history because it is the first time in history that a Finnish pair has won a silver medal. On the way to the final, the Finnish ladies eliminate, among others, the strong duo from Wales Rhian O'Sullivan and Eve Watson and in the semi-final, they beat the New Zealand tandem Wendy Harper and Sharlene Maru-Habib.

It is now the twelfth time that an English duo has won the pairs at a WDF World Cup. For Deta Hedman herself, it is already her fourth gold medal in this event.
