With this year’s edition, Copenhagen stages its fifth BWF World Championships. This is indeed something to be proud of. Badminton Denmark is an organisation that looks to the future, but it is also aware of the importance of legacy. Therefore, I’m sure the fifth BWF World Championships in Copenhagen will be celebrated by the badminton community nationwide.
Copenhagen first hosted the BWF World Championships in 1983. Since then, the sport has come a long way, and Denmark has very much been a driving force in the game’s evolution. Perhaps the one distinguishing factor about Danish badminton is the involvement of local communities in supporting the sport at all levels. I look forward to their presence and support at the TotalEnergies BWF World Championships 2023, too.
The World Championships, like the Olympics, inspires players to produce their absolute best. Players seek sporting immortality with their performances on the biggest stages, and with a knowledgeable and full-house crowd likely all through the event, everything is set for a memorable championships.
I would like to thank Badminton Denmark and its team of officials and volunteers, Sport Event Denmark, the City of Copenhagen, and Wonderful Copenhagen, without whose untiring efforts such an event would not be possible.
Many thanks also to our long-term Major Championships title sponsor TotalEnergies, and all corporate partners and sponsors, for their contributions to the sport and these championships.
I wish the players the very best.
Poul-Erik Høyer BWF PresidentDear badminton lovers and badminton friends from all over the world: Welcome to the TotalEnergies BWF World Championships 2023!
Having hosted the World Championships in 1983, 1991, 1999 and 2014, the 2023-edition is the fifth time around in Denmark. We see the recurrent return of these championships to Denmark as strong proof of our passion and dedication to the wonderful sport of badminton. A passion and dedication we are thrilled to share with the global badminton community once again.
Badminton Denmark is thankful for the cooperation we have had with the Badminton World Federation, (BWF), and with our other partners, Wonderful Copenhagen, The Municipality of Copenhagen and Sport Event Denmark. With your help and strong cooperation, we now stand a chance of making these championships truly memorable for all taking part in the event – we will do our best to seize this opportunity.
I also would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all our sponsors, cooperating partners, volunteers, and staff. Without your strong and lasting support, hosting a World Championship would not be an option for us. Thank you!
We are ready to enjoy exciting, nerve-racking, breath-taking and world class badminton matches presented by more than 350 athletes representing nearly 50 countries. Even though only a select few in the end will experience the prize of a medal, hopefully many more will experience the satisfaction of performing in a fantastic venue at the height of their game as well as the joy of being part of the adventurous World Championships.
I wish you all, spectators, fans, athletes, volunteers, officials, and partners alike, a fantastic and memorable badminton experience in wonderful Copenhagen.
Once again, it is my great pleasure to say: Welcome to the TotalEnergies BWF World Championships 2023!

A very warm welcome to Copenhagen and the TotalEnergies BWF World Championships 2023.
The City of Copenhagen is tremendously proud to be the host of the TotalEnergies BWF World Championships 2023. Danish badminton players have been on top of the podium at world level an impressive number of times, and we are proud that Copenhagen is hosting the World Championships for the 5th time. This not only has great significance for the Danish players, playing in front of a home audience, but also for competitive badminton in Denmark in general. And not least, for Danish badminton enthusiasts of all ages.
This summer, the Danish organisers have done their utmost to ensure an unforgettable experience for both spectators and participants. And to celebrate badminton and the joy it brings worldwide.
In Copenhagen we aim to be among the greenest, most physically active and livable cities in the world and we are well on track to being just that; our harbour is so clean that you can swim in it. In addition, Copenhagen has a vibrant cultural life, excellent public transport, and a bicycle infrastructure where 45 per cent of Copenhageners ride their bike to work or school every day.
The Danish organisers use the World Championships as an opportunity to further strengthen the conditions for Danish Badminton and inspire more Danes to practice the sport. Both indoor and outdoor. During the championships, visitors and badminton fans will get the opportunity to have a go at trying out AirBadminton outdoors on selected spots in Copenhagen, as a run-up to the championships. Activities promoting badminton to both senior citizens and pupils in the schools in Copenhagen have also been initiated as a part of the host city programme.
As proud citizens and mayors, we are extremely excited to welcome everyone to seven days of world class badminton. We sincerely hope that everyone will enjoy the championships and have a wonderful stay in our beautiful city.

The world’s best players in the men´s singles category are set to challenge the reigning world champion, Viktor Axelsen as he looks to contest a third World Championship gold medal to his mantle piece. Axelsen is currently the world No. 1 men´s single player in the world and the reigning Olympic Champion. One of Axelsen’s opponents is the strong comeback story of Shi Yu Qi. The Chinese player won Denmark Open in 2022 after 10 months away from competition and as a former All England champion he is one to watch. At last year’s World Championships, Kunlavut Vitidsarn from Thailand was the one to challenge Axelsen in the
final. Since then, Vitidsarn has risen in the rankings by winning the India Open and Thailand Open in 2023. He has been the runner-up to Axelsen four times since 2020 but got revenge at the India Open final. From Indonesia, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting is one of the strongest contenders looking to gatecrash Axelsen’s party. His standout achievements thus far in 2023 include collecting the crown at the Badminton Asian Championships and the Indonesia Open. The Olympic bronze medallist is known for his speed and agility and could well rock Axelsen’s boat.

These four women´s players are on top of their game and most often one of them are crowned the winner of a World Tour title. Defending world champion Akane Yamaguchi from Japan is seeking her third back-to-back title. Throughout 2022 and 2023 Yamaguchi has won six World Tour titles, and some of her biggest wins are All England, World Tour Finals and Malaysia Open. Yamaguchi is strong in her defence, but a player who is going to challenge her with a great offense is Chen Yu Fei from China. Chen, the reigning Olympic champion, has the potential to capture China’s first women’s singles title at a World Championship since 2011.
Tai Tzu Ying from Chinese Taipei is a dangerous opponent on the other side of the net. The Taipei shuttler has three All England titles to her name and won the Indonesia Open 2022. The Olympic silver medallist is no stranger to breaking new ground as she became the youngest women’s singles player to claim the No. 1 spot aged 22. A player who is definitely trying to beat that record is An Se Young from Korea. The 21-year-old has won 16 World Tour titles, is increasingly difficult to beat, and doesn’t hold back for anyone. The big question is if there is anyone who can fight their way through this group of forceful players and claim the World Championship title.

It is hard to say who will be this year´s world champions in the men´s doubles category. Last year´s winners Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik from Malaysia will seek to defend their title and hoping for a back-to-back win here in Copenhagen. It is not going to be an easy job due to their eager opponents. From Indonesia is the experienced and well-established duo Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto. Since 2014 Alfian and Ardianto have been growing strong, and last year when they set foot on Danish ground, they came home with a title from the Denmark Open. Since then, they have won the Malaysia Open as well as All England. Competing at the top of the men´s doubles

category are Wang Chang and Liang Wei Kang from China who have had an impressive outing in 2023, contesting four finals and two titles to show for their hard work. Asian champions Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty from India are going to fight for their place at this year’s championships. The two players played a crucial role in winning the Thomas Cup title for India in 2022, and they have won the Indonesia Open and French Open since then. They always bring their best game on court and are a tough duo to beat. Hold on to your seats because this category is going to be exciting to watch.

This year’s women´s doubles category contains champions, fighters, and a lot of power. It is not going to be an easy match for anyone who will meet these four women´s doubles at the World Championships. The duo to beat are the reigning world champions from China, Chen Qing Chen and Jia Yi fan. They have been ruling the category for over a year by winning the World Tour finals, Denmark Open, Malaysia Open, and many more. At last year’s World Championships, they won against the power duo Kim So Yeong and Kong Hee Yong, from Korea. Kim and Kong won this year’s All England as well as the Thailand
Open. In 2019, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic bronze medallists were awarded BWF’s Most Improved Player. Fighting for the championship title alongside them are Nami Matsuyama and Chiharu Shida from Japan. The two women are forceful on court and last year they won the Super 1000 tournament Indonesia Open. Finally, we have the Indonesian double Apriyani Rahayu and Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti. Rahayu is the reigning Olympic Champion with the retired Greysia Polii. However, Rahayu and Ramadhanti have proved that they can create magic on court, and their defence is tough to break through.

Since January 2022, Chinese pairing, Zheng Si Wei and Huang Ya Qiong have won 11 World Tour titles as well as the World Tour Finals and the World Championships. For the last couple of years, almost everything they have touched has turned into gold, and they are now going for their fourth World Championship title. At most finals, the Chinese pair are up against Yuta Watanabe and Arisa Higashino from Japan. This tandem are fast on court and possess great defensive and deceptive skills. In 2021 Watanabe won All England in both the mixed doubles and the men´s doubles categories becoming the first player in over 19 years to do so. Watanabe and Higashino are strong and
have been knocking on the door of opportunity to win their first World Championship title. Fighting for their second gold medal are Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai from Thailand. This duo have a collection of big titles on their CV, including the Japan Open 2022, Malaysia Master 2023 and the Singapore Open 2022. They made history for Thailand winning the World Tour Finals 2020. Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion, Huang Dong Ping is certainly one to keep an eye on. Since pairing with Feng Yan Zhe in October 2022, the dynamic duo have gone on to win the Indonesia Masters, Thailand Masters and the German Open. Their mission? Nothing less than a podium finish.

16 Danish players are ready to fight for the titles across five categories. Denmark is known for its high level of badminton players and some of the Danish players who are going to prove this are Mia Blichfeldt, Anders Antonsen, Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen, and Mathias Christiansen and Alexandra Bøje. Christiansen/Boje are the Danish delight pushing their opponents throughout 2023. The pair claimed the biggest win of their career with a title at the Singapore Open and their first Super 750 victory. Paired up since 2020, the duo continue to gather pace in the rankings showcasing their tactical shrewdness. They have been pairing up since 2020, and they are only getting stronger in their technical game. In the men´s doubles category are an experienced pair represented by Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen. With titles at the 2018 China Open and the European Championships, expe-

rienced duet Astrup/Rasmussen, bring with them a lot of experience. Creative, dynamic and sheer brute force could see these two contend for the crown. Representing the women´s singles category is Mia Blichfeldt who has proven she can put up the resistance against the biggest in her category. She has won Spain Masters, reaching the final at Swiss Open and lately she was the runner-up at the European Games. Anders Antonsen, the men’s singles player from Denmark, is another force that will undoubtedly be alert at this year’s World Championships. He has won several notable competitions throughout his career, including the Denmark Open 2020, the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2020, Indonesia Masters 2019, and two World Championships medals, bronze and silver. With his intense concentration and drive, he will be difficult for opponents to navigate.

Denmark has successfully staged the World Championships four times. We spoke to Danish medalists from each edition of the World Championships held in Denmark, and a current player with a big dream to medal at the Royal Arena.
By Ronni Burkal Elkjær1983, Brøndby Steen Fladberg: Gold MD and silver XD
Q: What was it like playing the World Championship for the first time in Denmark?
A: So special. There was only one TV channel in Denmark back then, and they gave the World Championships a lot of attention, so it was huge in Denmark, because you couldn’t see anything else on TV. Morten Frost and Lene Køppen had achieved a lot at the All England, so the expectations on them were high. Both suffered early losses and suddenly we received a lot more attention than we were used to, and the pressure was on us to secure medals for Denmark. Fortunately, we played some of our best badminton in the semifinals, and every good player participated, so that makes me even more proud, that we won the championship.
Q: How did you manage the extra attention from the spectators?
A: When you are standing in the middle of a totally packed Brøndby Hallen, you get a little nervous and excited. If you get through that first round coping with the pressure, you can use them as support. Everybody clapped when we won a rally. It was the best. We got a lot out of it, attention wise, this time people could watch us play instead of staying awake in the middle of the night to watch us play in Asian tournaments. So, this was something else, and for me personally working full time and studying along with playing badminton, it gave me sponsors and money I could use in my career.
Q: Did you feel any pressure as a world champion going forward?
A: For me it didn’t add another layer of pressure. It was quite calming to me because now I had tried it and knew I could do it. You can’t take that feeling and the gold medal away.
Q: What do you remember most about the 1991 World Championships?
A: It was the first World Championships I ever participated in my career, and it was in Denmark, so it was very special.
Q: What was it like playing in front of a home crowd?
A: It was crazy. I consider myself a joy for the spectators because of my body language, the way I played, and I enjoyed the interaction with them. I think the worst match to play was the first round. You don’t know where you stand physically and mentally. But after that win, you get a few extra percentages from the spectators. Often the expectations are high to players playing at home, but I thrive under those circumstances. It’s the best feeling going into the final, and there is only one court, so you know everybody is looking at you. And you have 98 percent of the spectators rooting for you. If you can use the spectators as support, that’s a massive upside.
Q: What do you remember of your men’s doubles final?
A: I’m still getting goosebumps thinking of the night before the final when Thomas Lund and I drove to downtown Copenhagen to get dinner after we had defeated the world No. 1 pair and knowing we would play in the finals of the World Championships the next day. It literally tickles down my spine just talking about it. But when I lost the final, it was with mixed emotions. The Crown Prince of Denmark handed me the medal, so that was a nice experience, but when you aren’t winning you stand with a lot of thoughts trying to figure out, where you could have found the last percentages. Overall, it was a giant experience, and it was at that time, when the sport really started being more professional with better training and a long preparation for the World Championships.
Q: How do you remember your World Championships final?
A : The week before the World Championships we played Sudirman Cup on home court as well. We reached the final where I lost to a Chinese player after blowing a massive lead. A week later there I was in the World Championships final facing the same Chinese player and I almost blew a massive lead again. But somehow, I managed to pull out the win even though I was in so much trouble. And I was even close losing in the first round. There were so many difficulties during those two weeks. I came close to losing in the first round. I injured my back, and I was dealing with blisters. I remember driving to Brøndby before the semifinal and not even wanting to play, because I was completely drained mentally and physically after playing more than 10 matches in two weeks. I had to deal with a lot of pressure. It took me a long time to watch the final again without getting nervous. Even though I know what the outcome was.
Q: How was it standing on top of the podium in front of the Danish spectators?
A: I actually remember very little of it. I remember walking up and hearing the national anthem playing in the arena. Otherwise, I remember hugging Mette Sørensen, who won bronze, and there were tears. But it was an out of the body experience because I was so drained. Now when I look back, seeing what I achieved, I am very proud of making history.
Q: Besides winning gold at the Olympics is a gold medal at a World Championship on home court the biggest thing you can win?
A: No doubt. If I had won the Olympics, of course that would have been the cherry on the cake. But winning the World Championships and on home turf, it does not get any bigger for me.
Q: Competing at a home World Championships, how was that experience for you?
A: I remember it very clearly. I was very much looking forward to playing a World Championship on home soil. I was used to competing at the Denmark Open every year, and I knew that playing at home comes with extra attention from not only yourself but also from the media, spectators etc. Many people wanted to speak with me when I arrived or left the arena and that could add some extra pressure. But I saw it as something positive.
Q: How did it differ from playing Denmark Open?
A : It was 100 per cent different because it was a World Championship event. To win a medal at a World Championships is something every player dreams of. An Olympic or World Championships medal is something else. My advice for the
players at this year’s World Championships is to pay attention to the pressure on your shoulders. Know that it is okay if you don’t win, but you must do your bests to prepare for these kind of thoughts in regards to pressure.
Q: You have won five individual World Championships medals, but was it special winning one in Denmark?
A: I’m getting goosebumps when you mention my success at home. Regardless if it’s at the Denmark Open or the World Championships, it is a nice feeling to win the first or second round. That experience is something else and maybe we owe 5 per cent of our medal in appreciation of spectator support.
Q: How much do you look forward to competing at the World Championships on home turf?
A: It’s one of the biggest moments in my career. I feel lucky competed at home in 2014, because now I know what’s waiting for me and I have an idea of what it’s going to be like. Anders and me, of course have higher expectations than when we competed in 2014. I hope we can use our experience from playing an World Championships at home turf one time before.
Q: Aside from playing at the World Championships in 2014, you have played the Denmark Open in front of a home crowd. How is your 2023 experience going to be different?
A: All the good things of playing Denmark Open in a crowded arena, when it’s going well, it will be even nicer. On the other
hand, it could be tough, if it’s not going the way, you hope, and it can be a negative spiral playing in front a home crowd when it’s not going well. So, I must prepare myself for both cases.
Q: You won a bronze medal at the World Championships in 2021. How do you think you will feel standing on the podium in the Royal Arena receiving a medal?
A: Just the question gives me goosebumps. It would mean a lot. That is what you fight for each day. We are fortunate and lucky to have won one medal. I’m hoping to double that number. It would be one of the greatest achievements in my career. And that’s my target.

Badminton Danmark og DGI Badminton er klar med vores syn på Fair Play. Det vil I støde ind i og stifte bekendtskab med i hallerne i den kommende tid til de større mesterskaber.
Målet og det primære fokus er at hjælpe til, at børn og forbilleder efterlever de rammer og regler, der er sat i badminton, og opfører sig fair især i turneringsaktivitetssammenhæng.
Badminton er en enestående sportsgren, da langt de fleste badmintonkampe afvikles, hvor spillerne selv dømmer kampene. Det stiller store krav til badmintonspillernes opførsel og evne til at dømme og opføre sig fair.
Badminton Danmark og DGI Badminton går ind for FAIRPLAY, da det danner fundamentet for, at det er sjovt at konkurrere, giver masser af gode oplevelser samt at der er plads til alle.
At det kun er en dommer, der kan dømme ”fejl”. Du kan ikke dømme, at modstanderen ramte nettet med ketsjeren, eller lavede overhåndsserv el.lign. Du skal altid spille en duel færdig, og duellen afgøres altid ved, at bolden dømmes inde eller ude eller ikke kommer over nettet.
At være FAIR handler om at opføre sig ordentligt, ærligt og retfærdigt, samt ikke virke stødende med sin adfærd, både i forhold til dem, der spilles med og imod.
• FAIRPLAY er at overholde reglerne og respektere sin modstander og handle på en måde, der sikrer retfærdighed og en god afvikling af konkurrencesituationen.
• FAIRPLAY er at være ærlig og retfærdig, også selvom det ikke er til ens egen fordel. Det betyder, at du skal være villig til at ofre din egen succes til fordel for et retfærdigt udfald.
• FAIRPLAY handler om spillet på banen, men også om, hvad der sker udenfor stregerne på tilskuerpladserne, så det gælder både spillere, trænere og forældre.
Gensidig respekt og FAIR PLAY overfor hinanden giver de bedste forudsætninger for gode oplevelser for alle.
At du som forbillede altid kan stoppe dit eget barn i at fortsætte en kamp og trække dit barn ud, hvis dit barn er gået over stregen for FAIRPLAY.
At du altid kan henvende dig ved hallens dommerbord, hvis du som forbillede oplever en meget problemfyldt kamp, som du ikke føler, spillerne selv kan håndtere. Dommerbordet kan tage stilling til, om det vil hjælpe med en neutral observatør (som afgør uenigheder) resten af kampen.
At en badmintonkamp starter, når spillerne er trådt ind på baneområdet, og slutter når de er trådt ud. Spillerne må IKKE forlade banen, før kampen er spillet færdig.
Ingen må gå på banen, heller ikke forbilleder med vanddunk eller et sidste godt råd, når spillerne er gået på banen.
A group of people – most of them have passed 70 years – are digging in Danish badminton history and making it digital so future generations can find information about the legends.
By Ronni Burkal ElkjærIt started as an irritation. And a wonder. Why didn’t young people know who famous Danish badminton legends such as Erland Kops, Ulla Strand or Finn Kobberø were, the teacher and former coach Ole Jacobsen asked himself.
Some of his students knew a little bit about Camilla Martin or Peter Gade, but would these players also be forgotten by the next generation? Ole Jacobsen realised he had a new purpose. He should maintain the Danish badminton history. That’s how the idea of the Badminton Museum started eight years ago.
”I wanted to portrait former players, leaders, and coaches but I needed to make a lineup, because I couldn’t do it all by myself”, Ole Jacobsen reflects.
The first person he reached out to was Torsten Berg, who has an incredible network inside badminton after three decades working in international badminton as a President of Badminton Europe and as a Vice President in the BWF Council.
”I was always interested in the history of Danish badminton but did not find time to do much about it. In 2016 I started to step down a bit from the international duties, so when Ole – a good friend since 1967 – approached me I was ready. I love working
with people with good ideas and hard work and Ole contains both”, says Torsten Berg.
The conclusive moment in beginning the work was the support of the board in Badminton Denmark. The board grants an annual subsidy to the work of the Badminton Museum, which primarily covers transportation and technical expenses. It takes a significant amount of resources to digitise archive footage of player and matches. The first thing they started doing was collecting old scrap books, old rackets etc. to make sure physical things wouldn’t be lost as the long-term objective is to house a physical Danish Sport. or ideally, a Badminton Museum.
A total of eight members make up the group - most of whom are in their seventies, hold two in-person meetings a year and chair additional editorial meetings online. Each member has a set of unique skills; producing website content of the Badminton Museum, scanning old footage, making appointments with former players, or using plenty of hours digging in the Danish badminton history like archaeologists.
”One of our goals is expanding our website maybe with podcasts. And shooting for the stars we are dreaming of having an actual museum where people can walk around and at close distance look at the some of the most iconic pieces in Danish Badminton history. That’s some of our ambitions”, Ole Jacobsen says.
