We already knew Devin Madsen was quite the squash player SA国际影视传媒� he's proven it time and again by winning several tournaments at the Racquet Club. Turns out he's also a decent badminton and pickleball player as well.

Madsen added yet another title to his resume Sunday afternoon after winning the Triple Threat event at the Racquet Club. Madsen defeated Stephen Messier in the final of the adult division of the single-knockout event, which combined squash, badminton and pickleball.

Madsen won last year's title as well but he freely admitted he was happy the format had changed.

SA国际影视传媒淲e played mini-tennis instead of pickleball last year and Stephen's a really good tennis player,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淭hat had me worried last year but he's also going to the Arctic Winter Games for badminton so I knew if I could keep the score low in badminton, I would have a good chance of beating him.SA国际影视传媒�

Each of the three sports was played in a miniature version lasting just 10 minutes in duration for a total time of 30 minutes for each match. No sets were played as the goal was to rack up as many points as possible in each sport, which went toward the running total for each athlete. Whoever had the most points after 30 minutes was declared the winner and moved on.

The script was being followed somewhat in the final as Messier defeated Madsen in badminton but it was a reversal of fortunes as Madsen won the pickleball game and began to pull away in squash.

SA国际影视传媒淢y fitness started to pick up in the squash and Stephen really needed to pick things up,SA国际影视传媒� said Madsen. SA国际影视传媒淵ou just go out and tally up as much points as possible and I managed to do that down the stretch.SA国际影视传媒�

Had the draw been different, there was a good chance Madsen would have ended up meeting Garrett Hinchey, his main squash rival, in the final but they were in the same half of the draw and it was Madsen who saw off Hinchey to advance to the final.

SA国际影视传媒淚 saw the other side of the bracket and if Stephen and Garrett had to face off, they would have had a great game,SA国际影视传媒� said Madsen. SA国际影视传媒淚 expected to see Stephen in the final but Jeff (Hipfner) gave Stephen a good go (in the other semi-final).SA国际影视传媒�

There was a youth division as well, which was a round-robin to determine the top two that would meet for the championship. From the six junior competitors, the two left standing after the round-robin were Colton Tumoth and Joe Depew SA国际影视传媒� and it was Depew who would run out as the winner in the decider.

Madsen plans on going for the three-peat next year but he said it's just nice to play something different than straight squash.

SA国际影视传媒淚t's nice to do something like this and it's really laid back,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淚t's different and fun and Melina (Turk, head squash pro) puts in the extra time and did a great job getting this all together.SA国际影视传媒�
