The sixth-seeds clinched gold with a comfortable straight-sets victory at the Eisbahn Areal in the Swiss Alps village today.

Talita Antunes and Larissa Franca of Brazil, who lost in the bronze medal match at Rio 2016, were their victims as the Europeans claimed a 21-18, 22-20 win.

Swiss duo Anouk Vergé-Dépré and Joana Heidrich became only the second women’s team from the host country to advance to the semi-finals in the 18-year history of this event.

They were beaten by Laboureur and Sude of Germany 15-21, 23-21, 20-18 in the semi-finals.

Antunes and Franca reached the gold medal match following a straight-forward 21-16, 21-15 win over fifth-seeded Melissa Humana-Paredes and Sarah Pavan of Canada.

The Canadians recovered from that disappointment to claim the bronze medal with a 21-15, 21-12 over their Swiss opponents.

In the men’s event, Philip Dalhausser and Nicholas Lucena are through to tomorrow’s semi-finals.

The Americans claimed a confident 21-18, 21-18 win over Nikita Liamin and Viacheslav Krasilnikov of Russia.

Saymon Barbosa Santos and Álvaro Morais Filho of Brazil are also through as they saw off John Hyden and Ryan Doherty of the United States 22-20, 19-21, 15-11.

In an all-Polish affair Piotr Kantor and Bartosz Losiak prevailed.

They defeated compatriots Michal Bryl and Grzegorz Fijalek 21-13, 21-15.

Andre Loyola Stein and Evandro Oliveira of Brazil complete the final four as they won a nervy game against Canada's Sam Pedlow and Sam Schachter 17-21, 21-12, 20-18.

Action in Gstaad will conclude with the men’s semi-finals and medal matches tomorrow.
