OLYMPICS – Danish list ready

Badminton Denmark has already made up their minds about who to send to the Olympics. Their only choice laid in the men’s single where denmark could have sent two players our of three who ended up in the last 16. No surprise to see that the two players to be qualified by the National Body are Peter Gade and Jan O Jorgensen – they are better ranked than Hans Kristian Vittinghus with better statistics against the other top players. Vittinghus, thanks to his amazing year, will however be kept on stand by should Gade or Jorgensen get injured prior to the Games. The other names on the list are no surprise as all the players qualified by BWF’s standards will participate in London Olympics this summer
