British & Irish Para: Oktila’s Three-Title Sweep
Leani Ratri Oktila

Leani Ratri Oktila achieved her first three-title sweep of the season at the British & Irish Para Badminton International 2026 in Dublin on Sunday.

The Indonesian, no stranger to achieving this feat in past seasons, had notched a double at her two previous tournaments.

Her last three-title sweep had come at the Indonesia Para Badminton International in September 2024.

On Sunday, she first claimed the SL4 women’s singles title beating Norway’s Helle Sofie Sagoy 21-17 21-11 before returning shortly after for the SL3-SU5 mixed doubles final with Hikmat Ramdani. The favourites had a relatively comfortable win over Indonesian compatriots Fredy Setiawan/Khalimatus Sadiyah, 21-4 21-15.

Oktila wrapped up the day winning the SL3-SU5 women’s doubles with Khalimatus Sadiyah, beating Manasi Girishchandra Joshi/Thulasimathi Murugesan, who had denied them the gold at the French Para Badminton International last week.

Indonesia had a successful campaign, with her mixed doubles partner Ramdani and Subhan Subhan (SH6) claiming a double.

Korea’s Park Haeseong (WH1) nearly matched Oktila’s feat, but fell short in the men’s doubles as he and Yu Sooyoung were beaten by compatriots Choi Jungman/Kim Jung Jun 21-17 21-18.

However, Park rebounded by taking the singles gold over Jin Gibeom before claiming the mixed doubles with Jung Gyeoul.

Jung too could boast of a double as she had earlier won her WH2 singles beating Peru’s Pilar Jaurequi in three games.

Park goes home with two titles.
