Viktor Axelsen kicks off his journey in Paris with a win. “I could not have wished for a better start to my Olympic campaign,” said the Tokyo 2020 men’s singles gold medallist to TV 2 SPORT after his win against Nepal’s Prince Dahal.

The Dane won his opening match against the Nepalese player in straight games, 21-8 21-6.

“I think I got the most out of it. I just had to shake off the worst Olympic vibes off me,” added the Dane, expressing confidence in his performance and shape. “I feel super comfortable. I wasn't pressured that much, with all due respect to my opponent. It's great to get started.”
