Two-time Olympic & World Champion Victor Axelsen Retires From Professional Badminton
Axelsen, who is a two-time world champion, three-time European champion, a Thomas Cup winner along with a former and long-serving world number one, and the owner of one of the most complete major-title resumes in men’s singles history, has been hampered by a serious back injury for the past two years.
Explaining the reason behind his decision, Axelsen said it is no longer physically possible for him to continue playing badminton due to pain. "As most people know, I have been struggling with my back for quite some time. After I had surgery in April last year and went through a long rehabilitation process, I unfortunately had a setback in October. Since those tournaments, I have not been able to play or train at the level required. I have not been able to play or train due to pain, and that is why I am unfortunately forced to make this extremely difficult decision," he told Badminton Europe.
