    Today Rikke Olsen announced that she stops her career immediately.

    She has for some time suffered from a injured shoulder, and recently the injury got worse during her polterabend.

    30 year old Rikke Olsen played for more than 10 years on the danish national team and won 13 Danish championships and 4 European championships in doubles. She also finished 4th at the Olympics three times :(

    Bye Rikke. Will miss you!! :crying:

    She is not yet quit at this moment. At lease not now. ;)

    Take a look at the draw of Singapore Open 2005 !
    She plays XD with Carsten Morgensen.
    She plays WD with Mette Schjoldager (5 seed).
