Very diplomatic 

 

To me, he is better than Lin Dan, even though both won 2 consecutive gold.

Because it is way harder to win Olympic gold as a Dane compared to a PRC.  The China team has so much more experience, lots of resources for training and some of the world best players as training partners.  Not to mention far more lucrative in terms of sponsorship and $$$  if they win.

Nice, humble chap......very compose and often praise others more than himself.

Danes have some pedigree in world badminton so he has some history behind him at least as the ace of a country. 

He's also lucky to be in a generation where he can invite other countries aces to train with him. Loh KY, Sen was the first few I think. Then they all started having training camps with each other. More open competition in an age of cellphones and messaging. 

Kunlavut, LZJ and the above 2 are all top 15 players who are not in china camp. 

Other than Indonesia with ginting, Jonaton Christie. Most other countries only have one ace. 

Maybe in an era where there's only China, Malaysia, Indon fighting it out. It wouldn't have happened.
