„The time has come!

I have made the most difficult decision of my career – my time as a top table tennis player has come to an end!

In consultation with my doctors and management we came to this very difficult decision! I had hoped to compete at this summer’s Olympic Games in Rio but my body just can’t anymore. After several operations I can no longer train 100% without pain and therefore not compete at the level I’m used to.

I want to thank especially my family friends F.reklame A/S ‪#‎Butterfly ‪#‎NaturEnergi sponsors and fans from the bottom of my heart – I’m forever grateful for all the support You have showed throughout my whole career.

So many great experiences and memories to take with me from this amazing sport.

THANK YOU!“
