Krysten who was looking forward to a 'proper' Paralympics, after playing behind closed doors in Tokyo due to Covid in 2021.

Depsite having lots of friends and family in the audience to support him, the over powering roar of the french crowd was overwhelming and at times seemed intimidating with their insanely loud demoner and home flags flying high.

Whilst it may not have been the medal we were hoping for, for Krysten, his dream of advancing his silver, has been made a reality. Krysten sid "It was amazing. It obviously wasn't the result I'd have wanted but to be out there with that crowd was incredible. We don't have that in other Para badminton tournaments so to be able to experience that was amazing."

Speaking on upgrading his Tokyo Bronze, Krysten said, "It's the dream. The hard work, the dedication, the year of sacrifices, not being able to do things with friends and family - to have them here tops it off".
