In addition, Badminton Denmark’s sports management (SLT), which selects the squad, has applied for a wildcard for the men’s doubles Frederik Søgaard and Rasmus Kjær as well as the mixed doubles Amalie Magelund and Mathias Thyrri, who won the VICTOR DM in February.
– It is a strong squad that we have selected, and we hope to be able to deliver some good results and fight for the medals in all categories, says head national coach Kenneth Jonassen.
