24/04/2011 – This week European champion from 2009 Michael MAZE (29) of Denmark withdrew from the World Championships in Rotterdam. The former European champion and World Cup bronze medalist played very few matches after January 2010. “I still have pain and can not go down at the knees. It takes maybe a month or two before I can train ” he said to sporten.dk
The Danish European champion still has pain and has only played three matches this year. During the last World Championships in May in Moscow he played only one match and in early autumn he also played only one match for Russian UMMC in the Champions League before he underwent a double cartilage surgery in his right knee at 12th September at Gildh??linic
When in late March he played at tournament in China against WANG Hao he was in fact on one leg and he did it only to preserve his place as No. 18 in world rankings. “I was forced to play. Otherwise I will fell out of the world rankings and had lost my direct qualification for the Olympics in London” MAZE explains the China trip.
Danish sports director Peter SARTZ selected Kasper STERNBERG Jonathan GROTH Allan BENTSEN Mikkel HINDERSSON Mie SKOV and Wendy AGERHOLM to play in Rotterdam.
