Badminton News: On December 14, Danish media TV 2 reported that Viktor Axelsen had been shortlisted for Best Sports Figure of the Year.

This was revealed by the Danish Sports Federation (DIF) and the Danish team.

Viktor Axelsen is the second of three finalists for the prize, which will be presented at the sports fair on January 7, 2023.

Axelsen once again showed his strength on the 2022 international badminton stage.

“He was the undisputed best on the world stage, winning almost every award one can win,” Danish national team president Lars Klarup said in a statement.

Axelsen has been unstoppable in the 2022 season. He has won a total of 8 championships, namely BWF World Tour 2022 Finals, French Super 750, World Championships, Malaysia Open Super 750, Indonesia Open Super 1000, the European Championships and the All England 2022.

The Sports Nomination of the Year award has been presented since 1991. If he wins this time, Axelsen has the chance to complete a “hat trick” nomination after winning two awards.

In fact, only three players have beaten the Tokyo 2020 Olympic champions this season, namely Lakshya Sen of India (German Open semi-finals), Loh Kean Yew of Singapore (Open from Denmark) and HS Prannoy from India (WTF group stage). ).

However, former world champions Kean Yew, Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia and Indonesia’s Anthony Ginting and Jonatan Christie can also beat the Dane, but they must overcome their hot and cold form on the international stage first.
