The best in Europe right now

Optimistic ahead of Tokyo
When speaking to Badminton Europe, Rosengren revealed her ambitions was to go the distance in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
The Dane has a very good chance of achieving her ambitions and will now start her qualification process for the event.
- I think my chances are pretty good at the Paralympics, there are some pretty good Asian players, but I think that I can play well against them, Rosengren said.
- If I train harder and keep doing what I am doing right now, then maybe I can make it and win Gold, she added.
