Love to see this match! It's very motivating to see older players still being competitive! Tks for sharing this great match!

[@TPToE]

Many thanks for sharing this! Peter Rasmussen is a fantastic player.

[@GentofteBadmintonKlub]

You are most welcome, Max. He certainly is a very skilled player. And - it seems - his offspring are equally talented.

[@TPToE]

@@GentofteBadmintonKlub I'm particularly grateful to him as I learned to play using the video tutorials he made >> still the clearest explanations of overhead technique I've found anywhere!

[@kd6613]

He moves faster than all the 20 year olds in my gym.

[@GentofteBadmintonKlub]

;-)

[@ardianworld777]

Very nice to see! Wow his fitness level is insane! How amazing to play against a world champion. Unfortunately for your club, perhaps not the result what you wish for, but quite a treat to have so many incredible players in Denmark

Peter's premature retirement from the professional circuit due to injury is a true regret to badminton fans. At his peak form his all-out attacking ferocity and delicate net shots were truly phenomenal.

[@tomfielder8973]

Rasmussen’s win over Sun Jun is my favourite match ever. 2 hours and 5 or 6 minutes of men’s singles badminton at its finest…👍

[@SimonRasmussen-y8r]

FACTS!

[@venomwarfare4854]

I can't believe he is 50 years old. This is madness!

[@SimonRasmussen-y8r]

Yeah! Still playing 1. division and in fantastic shape!

[@usevisine3198]

Oh! This brings back memories. I still fondly remember a Rasmussen racket from Carlton wayyyy back. It wasn't even an isometric (but the design was starting to take over). It was oval. Performed great. I preferred it over the Carbonexes of that time.

[@sumyeah]

still play well, unbelievable.

[@kd6613]

I want to see a game between him and Lin Dan. It would be legendary.

[@thomasl5710]

Changed from forehand to backhand serve!

[@jackralf2916]

peter rasmussen still look dangerous in the court.not easy to beat him even now

[@sunray3379]

nice video,

[@asdasdasd9269]

Have mercy

[@kd6613]

Why hasn’t he become a national coach? Maybe his interests are more in playing than coaching?

[@GentofteBadmintonKlub]

Exactly. Peter has other interests, but is still very much involved in badminton. His kids are also talented players competing at junior level in Denmark. Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated.

[@SimonRasmussen-y8r]

Yes. After he retired he studied to become an eyedoctor but he still plays with he´s kids in GBK.

[@jimyang8824]

[@SimonRasmussen-y8r]
