Clara Graversen: Badminton Gets a Spicy Kick
Danish doubles shuttler Clara Graversen made a striking entrance at the DANISA Denmark Open 2020 last month by not only debuting at a World Tour Super 750 event, but also showcasing an unusual career sponsor.

The 19-year-old, along with doubles partner Natasja P Anthonisen, secured victory in the first round of the Denmark Open beating Russian duo Anastasiia Akchurina and Olga Morozova. But it wasn’t just her debut that was the topic of conversation.
Aarhus native Graversen is sponsored by Chili Klaus, a Danish musician and YouTube star. Klaus is a widely known as a maverick who challenges people to eat some of the hottest chillis in the world and films them doing it. And it’s rather amusing.
“My mum was once Klaus’ hairdresser and my family has always been close with Klaus for many years,” said Graversen.
