Hi Johansen,

Yes, this is what I have heard, PG vomited repeatedly. Perhaps it's food poisoning.

He is now in a hospital, under observations.

I don't understand Danish, so I could not get information from your links.

We hope that he will get well ASAP.

Cheers... chris@ccc

Danish Badminton Star Hospitalized in Malaysia

Denmark’s most famous badminton player vomited repeatedly on his way to a tournament in Malaysia and is now in the hospital for observation.
By Theis Broegger (theis@scandmedia.com)

The night before Saturday, Danish badminton star Peter Gade fell ill during a flight to Kuala Lumpur, where he is to play in the Super Series tournament next week. The Danish athlete started feeling uncomfortable on the plane, experiencing a strong headache as well as pain in his arms. After having thrown up onboard the flight, he was immediately taken to a hospital in Kuala Lumpur upon the arrival to the airport in the Malaysian capital.

The doctors reportedly think Peter Gade suffered from a very powerful migraine attack. His frequent vomiting has resulted in a large loss of fluids, so the Danish player is now having his bodily fluid levels regulated. He is expected to be released Sunday morning, after which a decision will be made concerning his participation in the tournament.

Hi yannie,

Thank you for the translation.

With a large loss of fluids, it will affect his performance/participation.

It is better not to play...... if PG is not well.

Missing out just one tournament is no big deal.

Cheers... chris@ccc

sounds like food poisoning.
Very bad luck.

:( Unlucky Peter, hope he'll recover quickly ;) :) but will he be quick enough for Malaysia Open ;) :confused:

Hope he gets better soon. It's a conspiricy I tell you!

Its so unfortunate that he had Food poisoning.

Welps good luck PG!!! Hope he gets better:D

:( ..sounds similar to what i had abt 2+ yrs. ago, esp. with the vomitting and loss of body fluid..It's definitely somekind of food poisoning and definitily uncomfortble..:p
It's too bad he suddenly became ill and vomitted on the flight..Hope Peter will get a speedy recovery and get some rest!!...:cool:
*Btw, thanks Johansen and yannie for the info/translation & please do keep us updated on his news/recovery-;)

At least he have 2 more days to rest. But i doubt that he can play in tip top condition. But knowing his style.. he might have a ala Jordan comeback.

You don't have headache and arm pains from food poisoning. It is also a bit too late to vomit from food poisoning-they come out the other way incessantly, making fluid loss very serious.

Thanks for the translation, I hope he recovers quickly.

Dane in hospital after falling ill on flight to KL
By RAJES PAUL
KUALA LUMPUR: Denmark Peter Gade-Christensen's participation in the Malaysian Open hangs in a balance after he landed in the hospital upon arrival in Malaysia on Saturday evening.
The world number five had complained of severe migraine and vomiting during his journey from Copenhagen to Kuala Lumpur.
Immediately after arrival, he was taken to the medical room at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and shortly after, he was admitted to the Gleneagles Hospital in Ampang.

Yesterday, when met at the hospital, the 1998 Malaysian Open champion looked lethargic, pale and was on drips. He waved his hands but said that he did not wish to be disturbed.
Coach Thomas Stuer-Lauridsen, who was by his side, said that they would decide on Gade-Christensen's participation in the Malaysia Open today.
The championship is the first leg of the Super Series and it begins tomorrow with the qualifying tournament at the Kuala Lumpur Badminton Stadium in Cheras.
“Peter is a bit down. He had been in good shape prior to his arrival here. In fact, everyone is shocked at this moment,” said Stuer-Lauridsen, who during his playing career won a bronze medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games.

“He had a migraine attack while travelling and vomited. Peter said that he had the same attack when he was 18 years old. Several tests have been taken and we are waiting for the results.
“But the good news is that Peter is recovering. He has lost a lot of fluid and he is taking a lot of water to replenish. We hope to see the redness back on his face. He should be out either tonight or tomorrow morning.
“We will look at his conditions and decide whether he should or should not play in the Malaysian Open. When he is ready, you can talk badminton with him.”
Gade-Christensen has been drawn to play against Holland's Eric Pang in the first round. He is in the same quarter with Thailand's Boonsak Ponsana and China's Chen Yu.
Despite the setback, Stuer-Lauridsen said that Denmark had high hopes in the men's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles of the Malaysian Open.
He said that after a 10-week layoff because of a knee injury, Kenneth Jonassen, who is ranked eighth in the world, is back in top form.
“The team have been focusing on physical training for the last two months. We are also counting on Kenneth in the men's singles. He has recovered 100% from the injury and is extremely strong in the singles,” he said.
But Jonassen, who last won an Open title in Singapore in 2004, has a tough draw. He is expected to face the winner of the first-round match between world champion Lin Dan of China and Olympic and Asiad gold medallist Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia in the quarter-finals.
In the men's doubles, their stars are two-time All-England champions Jens Eriksen-Martin Lundgaard Hansen and Lars Paaske-Jonas Rasmussen.
To add depth in their mixed doubles, they have included two new combinations – Paaske-Mette Scholdager and Rasmussen-Lena Frier Kristiansen.

Hope he gets better soon. It's a conspiricy I tell you!

1st. Lin Dan vs Taufik in first round.
2nd. Peter Gade gets sick before tournament starts

Sounds like They are trying to take out LCW's toughest opponents if you ask me. Just kidding.:p

On another note, hope Peter Gade will get well soon, but even as his big fan, I wish he would care more of himself getting healthy first than risking his health in Malaysia open.:D

Although I did play in a doubles tournament when I still had food poisoning and just recovered from a flu and fever(the day before). I tell you that it is hard enough to play doubles when your body is not feeling well(espeically when I had diarrea), not to mention playing singles. However, during game-play, your body is actually focusing on something else, and as long as you don't stop, you don't feel the need to go to the washroom...:p

it is not food poisoning. it is a migraine attack. i like peter. i hope he gets to play. he has always been a fighter. but please dont say it is a conspiracy. if LCW wins, he'll win it fair and square and if lin dan wins, he'll win it fair and square. if TH wins....you get the picture. i sometimes dont agree with the draw. we should have all the good player separated early on. makes for more interesting matches later on. everybody have bad luck sometimes. LCW doe not win all the time. not even lin dan wins all the time. so, i wish for a speedy recovery for peter, i wish for LCW to fight to hold on to his title, i wish for a smashing match between lin dan and TH. let the games begin....

ok, i stand corrected. I had never heard of a migraine attack that severe, arm pain and vomiting.

oh yes, migraine attacks can be nasty. anything that involves the brain area can be excruciating. migraines, at it's worst, could cause coma. if i am not mistaken. correct me if i am wrong. the brain, when in pain, wrecks havoc to the body functions.

Poor PG :(, from what I hear migraines are horrid, so a severe migraine... I wouldn't like to think about it. Hell a normal headache is bad enough for me. I really hope he can get better in time, if it's a migraine he should at least :).

..(no i'm no doctor nor a medical specialist) both food poisoning and migraine headache(in this case a severe one) do have some similarities in symptoms, ie. nausea, headache, vomiting(may or may not happen in migraine headache cases). However, migraine headache doesn't have symptoms of diarrhea. And on the other hand, food poisoning doesn't have pain in arms/body(which i think is the main clue of migraine headache).
Anyways, perhaps other BC members who are doctors or medical specialist can explain better.;):)

Unfortunate to hear. I pray Gade gets well soon.

He is doing fine actually. Still feel groggy.

OK, that's good to know. I assume he's fit to play...

Gade is out of the hospital.
Still very uncertain if he will play this week.

Everyone, I am a doctor and although I have a reasonable idea of what happened to Peter, I feel that for the greater benefit of everyone, it would be better not to explain the details. For many fellow players professionals and amateurs alike, Peter is an absolute legend. We all take great interest in his welfare as well as his game.

In my opinion, I feel that we should just be glad that he has now been discharged. Hearing the details would just make people feel even more worried particularly those who are not familiar with certain medical jargon. That is my opinion anyway. Doesn't everyone agree?

Doesn't everyone agree?

I agree. Let the man breathe.

glad tat he is out of hospital d.even though i am a malaysian supporter , i still hope tat he can play. nway hope he gets better

F-man, i would like to hear the medical jargon involved in peter's condition. might not understand it, but will google to find out more. but i hope it'll be alright. he's such a good player.

F-man, i would like to hear the medical jargon involved in peter's condition. might not understand it, but will google to find out more. but i hope it'll be alright. he's such a good player.it is not easy to give online diagnosis, especially when the symptons are given by 2nd or 3rd handed information. I learned the hard way :(

Judging by your notes here, Peter might have something that is not just a simple migraine. Hmmm......hope it will not deter him from playing in the future even tho I think he is ok for now.

I hope Peter the Great has regained his normal self and is fit to play tomorrow? Peter is always an attractive player and I'm sure every professional has a high regard for his skills.

I have always enjoyed his many appearances in Singapore.

Especially when a doctor tells me that the details of Peters condition could scare me.

Sounds as if you think there is a risk of it being an apoplexia (bleeding in the brain) or something like that..

And what is wrong with the Danish players.. Jens Eriksen has a permanent heart condition of some kind, but still continues to play.. and now Peter.. what is this ???

Somebody please calm me down..

Peter doesn't have high expectations as his condition is not on top, but will still play in Malaysia Open.. First match vs Pang tomorrow..

Somebody please calm me down.

Hi klaphat,

Yeah, please calm down. :):):)

In fact, I would tell PG not to play if he is not well.

Cheers... chris@ccc
