Like vintage French wine, Astrup and Rasmussen get better with age


PETALING JAYA: Kim Astrup-Anders Skaarup Rasmussen enjoyed a purple patch in the second half of 2023 which saw them win four international titles and the top Danish pair is hopeful of a similar feat this year to secure an Olympic medal in Paris.

Winning the super 1000 China Open in 2018 was Astrup-Rasmussen’s biggest success on the Badminton World Federation (BWF) tour before their bullish run last year where they clinched three super 500 titles – Canada, Hong Kong and Arctic Opens – and the super 750 French Open.
