Danish national coach, Kenneth Larsen held a brief press conference after the came. He explained, that until a half hour ago his strategi had worked. The strategi was to meet China in the semi final, because the danes had a 4 out of 5 chance of winning. Had they met the koreans instead, he said, non of doubles had a chance at the moment.

He was asked if there where any conclusions about next weeks Worldchampionship he could draw from tonight. Yes, he said. Gong Zhichao must be the top choice to win. She was very strong, even thoug Camilla Martin did not play up to her bedst tonight. Unfortunately, he said, Camilla is bound to meet Gong Zhichao in the quarter finals, but that is how the rules are.
