Biography
Poul-Erik Høyer won the Danish National Championship in men’s singles in 1989, 1995, 1996 and 1998, as well as winning the singles title at Denmark Open in 1988, 1990, 1993 to 1995 and finally in 1999. Undoubtedly, among the greatest victories of his career were his two All England Championships singles titles and his Olympic gold medal in 1996. Many of us probably still remember when he, overcome with joy, ripped apart his T-shirt at the Olympics in 1996 after winning the men’s singles final.
