After yesterday's battle in Men's Doubles, where the Netherlands claimed gold, the 2025 European Senior Bowling Championship shifted to the women’s side. A total of 47 duets competed for another set of medals in Leipzig.

Germany’s Antje Materne and Michaela Göbel-Janka, both of whom won Singles medals on Monday, dominated the Women’s Doubles event, securing gold by winning the qualification, semifinal, and final rounds. In qualification, the German duo posted a total of 2,426, earning the No. 1 seed. They then defeated the Czech Republic’s Jana Lébrová and Ivana Fojtíková 435-373 in the semifinals.
