Last weekend, the Danish Table Tennis Championships delivered an unforgettable spectacle in Aalborg, held alongside 35 other sports as part of a nationwide sports celebration. The finals took place in the stunning new Music Hall, where a string quartet accompanied the matches—performing live during breaks and timeouts. Uniquely, the quartet had even composed original pieces especially for the championships, offering spectators both thrilling rallies and musical refinement.

In the men’s singles final, Anders LIND claimed his seventh national title, defeating Thor B. CHRISTENSEN 4–2 in an all-Herlev showdown.

A major story of the weekend was 18-year-old Maja Helene HANSEN, who secured her first women’s singles title after a dramatic 4–3 win over Eldijana BENTSEN. HANSEN saved two match points in the deciding game—including one on a net-edge—before triumphing 15–13 in a match filled with twists and tension.
