European Badminton Championships, team final tuesday

Team final Tuesday 11 April

	Anxious kids to waiting to escort players on court.....


Dutch team cheering....
	...while the Danes looks more serious
Danish and Dutch players in a row....
	The first match...Mixed Doubles
..after a well played match...
	The tall Dutch player....
...was up against a tall Dane... Tine Rasmussen
	Tine has recovered fully from an injury...
....and played very well! It looks good for the individual event!
	Mens Singles: Kenneth Jonassen, DEN ...

	vs. Eric Pang, NED
Erig Pang in action... but he couldn't stop Denmark's number two this time...
	When things are busy, you bring all your stuff to the court, as this photographer did during the final!
The strong Danish Men's Doubles, Martin Lundgaard/Jens Eriksen...
	...was - not unexpectedly - too tough for the young Dutch...
...Ruud Bosch/Koen Ridder
	But who knows... in near future their real breakthrough will come...
By winning this Men's Doubles the Danish Team won it's SIXTH Team title in a row...
	...and the team could put their arms in the air...
England won her bronze back from Germany...
	...the Netherlands kept their silver medal... here handed out by Kei Yanagi, Yonex and Tom Bacher, President of the EBU
...and what a happy bunch!
	Denmark once again on top of the podium...
...which felt good to especially the newer members of the Danish team...
	Gold, Silver and Bronze medallists....
...Denmark, GOLD
	...the Netherlands, SILVER...
...and England, BRONZE
	During the Nationa Anthem of Denmark.... Unfortunately backturned to the hall and the audience... But - symbolic, as it says GOODBYE to the Team Event - and HELLO to the Individual Event
