well, he is WJC, at the age if 16 so it is only right that he gets his own thread. Peter Gades successor is now almost ready to take the kings place. Feel free to share opinions about him
Surely you could do better ... Date of Birth: 4th January 1994 Place of Birth: Odense Right/Left hand: right Height: 185 cm Event(s): Men's singles Started badminton at age: 7 How I got started: My dad played when he was a child and he took me down to the club and showed me how to start Ambition as badminton player: the best http://www.viktoraxelsen.dk/ http://www.badmintondenmark.com/BadmintonDenmark/StarsOfTomorrow/ViktorAxelsen.aspx
Wooo the guy is 16, WJC that's insane... He's 16 an 185 cm that's insane.. He's 16 and has his own website, that's insane..
Lars and Thomas are doubles players, I bet this youngster can beat 'em in single. About you, I checked your profile, you're the school champion. Unless Viktor Axelsen is in your school I believe he's better than you
All three together that is . With LD_Rules as the cameraguy Or the caddie with all his shiny racquets to choose from.
He has a bit of attitude right (the yellow card!)? Looking forward to seeing him play very soon....hope he can break through on senior level. What is his playing style like? Fast and powerful or skillful & tactical?
From the few clips I've seen I would say skillfull & tactical. There's a couple on YouTube for instance these two from the (senior) Swedish International 2010 Final: 1.set http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7TILYPnLn8 2.set http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjDTwxfzmrs&feature=related Title should be vs Indra Bagus Ade Chandra for both ... Here's one from the EJC U17 Final (hadn't seen it before): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxZM3PMQm_o Another one against Jan Jorgensen at the national championships 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1tpfsE1HHQ
Mmm, not very prety to watch in those videos. I don't like the way he holds & flicks his shots. I think his footwork needs some wok too, he is not so agile. But then again he is only 16 & is tall. We will see!
Yup tall & agile would be a rare combo. Read he will be entering some more senior euro tournaments so we might be able to see some more footage. And before we get the question: HEAD Power Helix 8000 (medium flex, 285bp) + SHB-91M.
if this called insane what u call ratchanok intanon who had won 2 wjc and she was one year younger than victor axelsen? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- hope he can do well next year and next next year well done i proud of u!
