COPENHAGEN: Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen lost his world No. 1 ranking in June after 131 weeks at the top, but the reigning Olympic badminton champion is dead set on defending his gold medal in Paris.
The 30-year-old, a towering figure at 1.94m (6’4’’), says he “is slowly but surely” working his way back into form despite an ankle injury he picked up at the Singapore Open in late May.
