Tokyo: A badminton gold medal for Denmark!

25 years after the Olympic victory of Poul-Erik Hoyer-Larsen in 1996, a Dane won the gold medal in men's singles again. Viktor Axelsen is the new Olympic champion. In the final, he beat the defending champion Chen Long (CHN) in two sets. Coach Kenneth Jonassen's tactics were excellent and Viktor dominated the match. After the victory, it was difficult for him to control his tears. His childhood dream had come true - he was an Olympic champion.
