Who has not heard of this famous computer breakdown that affected all continents ? A historical bug which has had a direct impact on people's daily lives and necessarily on the European Championships Padel 2024 which start on Monday in Cagliari in Sardinia.

This Windows-related bug caused outages in several sectors, including air transport. And the first affected are obviously travelers.

Direct consequences: flight cancellations, delays, postponements and even sometimes suitcases that do not arrive safely... The member of the French team, Thomas Vanbauce, who signed his first selection for the French team, learned it the hard way, since he hopes to find his own this Saturday.

If France was slightly impacted, other countries were more strongly affected such as England and Germany. The Netherlands and Spain are not left out, even if everything should be back to normal tomorrow.

At worst, we are told in Italy, Sunday should allow all the teams to be complete before the start of the competition on July 22.
