  • YONEX GERMAN OPEN 2018 Badminton Championships
    YONEX GERMAN OPEN 2018 Badminton Championships VBD mbH Südstraße 25a 45470 Mülheim an der Ruhr Absender: Dr. Claudia Pauli Press Relations Officer YONEX German Open Waldbleeke 36 D-45481 Mülheim an der Ruhr Tel.: +49 (0)208 / 69 866 296 E-Mail: [email protected] Datum: 09.01.2018 YONEX German Open 2018 vom 06.03.2018 bis 11.03.2018 in Mülheim an der Ruhr BADMINTON-SUPERSTAR LIN DAN ERNEUT IN MÜLHEIM DABEI Die lebende Badminton-Legende gibt sich erneut die Ehre: Auch für die diesjährigen YONEX German Open Badminton Championships (6. bis 11. März in Mülheim an der Ruhr) hat der zweimalige Olympiasieger und fünfmalige Weltmeister im Herreneinzel, Lin Dan, gemeldet. Wohl jeder, der bei den Internationalen Badmintonmeisterschaften von Deutschland 2016 den Finaltag vor Ort verfolgt hat, erinnert sich noch gut daran, wie der Chinese nach seinem Endspielerfolg von dutzenden kreischenden Fans „umzingelt“ wurde und schließlich durch den Hinterausgang die Veranstaltungsstätte verlassen musste, um den – zumeist weiblichen – Autogrammjägern zu entkommen. Auch im vergangenen Jahr begeisterte der Vize-Weltmeister von 2017 und aktuelle Weltranglistensechste das Publikum in der innogy Sporthalle. Allerdings musste sich der sechsmalige YONEX German Open-Gewinner vor rund zehn Monaten bereits im Achtelfinale dem acht Jahre jüngeren Dänen Emil Holst geschlagen geben. Neben dem inzwischen 34-Jährigen planen aus China u. a. die amtierenden Weltmeisterinnen und derzeitigen Weltranglistenersten im Damendoppel, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan, der Weltranglistenachte im Herreneinzel, Shi Yuqi, die WM-Dritte von 2017 und momentane Weltranglistenachte im Dameneinzel, Chen Yufei, sowie die Weltranglistenneunte in dieser Disziplin, He Bingjiao, einen Start bei den 61.
