Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
The Danish Badminton Federation hopes that other Danish players will not follow suit Viktor Axelsen who decided to move to Dubai and train there.
Team Denmark’s sporting director, Lars Balle Christensen, stated that Brondby, which was the team’s training camp for Denmark, had proven to be a good environment.
“We hope not to see another player leave Denmark because of course the strength of Danish badminton has been the world-class environment that exists in Brondby.”
“It’s important to bring forth another world-class star player because there [Brondby] there are coaches and leaders who understand history and strive for sustainability, “Christensen was quoted as saying. Sport TV2.
Axelsen decided to move from Denmark and live in Dubai, both for badminton training and daily life.
According to Axelsen, living in Dubai saves him from allergies that often bother him when summer arrives in Denmark. Not only that, living in Dubai also cuts Axelsen’s travel time if he participates in a series of tournaments in Asia.
By living in Dubai, Axelsen can spend more time with his family. Living in Dubai also makes it easier for Axelsen to bring his family with him during tournaments.
Axelsen has just won the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. In the final he defeated the defending champion Chen Long. In the Olympics, Axelsen has collected 1 gold and 1 bronze.
Axelsen, who is the mainstay of the Danish men’s singles sector, also won the world title in 2017.
