European Badminton Championship 2008
The 2008 European Badminton Championships took place from April 12th to 20th in Herning, Denmark ( Central Jutland ). The venue was the city's exhibition halls, where the 1996 European Championship took place. With the renewed award of the title fights to Germany's northern neighbors by Badminton Europe , the outstanding position of Danish badminton within Europe was once again recognized.
For some European top stars it was the last European championships. The Danish player Kenneth Jonassen , who was finally able to shed his reputation as "eternal runner-up" at the European Championships, will end his career after the 2008 Summer Olympics . The two Danish top doubles Jens Eriksen / Martin Lundgaard Hansen and Lars Paaske / Jonas Rasmussen will also play their last international tournaments in the Olympic year.
