Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue are two shuttlers on a mission to make badminton big in France.
And the French shuttlers know they will have a chance to realise their ambition at the Paris Olympics from July 26-Aug 11.
First joining forces in September 2016, Gicquel and Delrue, both 23, have been making waves as a mixed doubles pair.
The world No 10 have established themselves as among the elites in the mixed doubles but are hoping for more achievements.
Gicquel-Delrue have made six finals on the World Tour, with their Swiss Open triumph last year being the biggest accomplishment to date.
But the pair are aware that whatever they have achieved will not be enough to inspire more French citizens to take up badminton seriously, where football, cycling, rugby and tennis are among the most popular sports.
Gicquel believes, however, that an Olympic medal on home soil would change all that.
"In France, no one cares about badminton. And it is our ambition to make the sport popular," said Gicquel following the pair's 23-21, 21-18 win over Germany's Jones Ralfy Jansen-Linda Efler.
"If we make it on the podium at the Paris Olympics, it would change the French people and government's perspective about badminton.
"But maybe nothing too crazy because France always wins a lot of medals at the Olympics. I think for us to make a difference, we have to win gold, and we're going to try to achieve that.
"Although the Olympics are happening in our country, most of the funding has gone to medal-winning sports. For them, badminton is not among them.
"You got to aim for the top so that you have the desire to push yourself. If you aim just for bronze, you will only set a limit on what you can achieve."
Delrue also expressed her happiness at the progress made by her national teammates on the international stage.
Popov brothers, Toma Junior and Christo, are currently ranked 25th and 56th in the men's singles, and the duo are also the No 28 ranked pair in the men's doubles.
In the women's doubles, Emilie Lefel-Anne Tran are ranked world No 30 and are eligible to play in all top-tier World Tour events.
"I think our numbers are growing each year. I still remember when we used to travel to World Tour events with just two to three of us, but now we have a group of six to seven," said Delrue.
"We're going to have a good representation at our home Olympics."
But for now, Gicquel-Delrue's attention will be on their last-eight encounter against world No 1 Zheng Si Wei-Huang Ya Qiong of China tomorrow.
Gicquel-Delrue are eyeing revenge after losing in the final of the Indonesia Masters to the China pair earlier this month.
"We're hoping to give them a better fight this time. Si Wei-Ya Qiong are one of the two Chinese top pairs (alongside Wang Yi Lyu-Huang Dong Ping) that we have not beaten before, but I think we're not too far behind," said Gicquel.
