Tine Rasmussen All England Champion

Friday, 11 April 2008

Danish star and Forza player Tine Rasmussen won the Ladies singles championships at the 2008 All England badminton championships held at the NIA in Birmingham on the 10th March 2008.

In the final she met the world number three from China Lu Lan.  Rasmussen cruised to the first set 21-11, but Lu Lan came back taking the second set 21-18.  The deciding set proved extremely tense, as the Dane squandered a 10-3 lead with a number of unforced errors.  The third set went to the wire with Rasmussen eventually come through 22-20.

This is a great win in Olympic year, but taking gold in Beijing will prove a much sterner test.
