Spain's Pablo Abian beats Dane Emil Holst to win badminton singles gold

Pablo Abian has beaten Denmark's Emil Holst 2-0 to claim the men's badminton singles gold medal at the European Games.

The Spaniard romped to victory in game one with a score of 21-12. Holst's frustration set in midway through that game, when his racket broke in the middle of a point.

It looked like Holst would level the score in game two though, as he raced into a six-point lead with the score at 14-8. Abian came back though to win game two 23-21 and secure the victory.

Germany's Dieter Domke and Lithuania's Kestutis Navickas won the bronze medals.
