Denmark Open: Oozing Charm in Odense
Team China will again have the most representatives in the Denmark Open finals.

Odense is quickly becoming a happy hunting ground for the nation, especially since the event returned to the Jyske Bank Arena in 2022 after 15 years away.
Last year, the tournament saw two all-Chinese finals in women’s singles and mixed doubles, while Shi Yu Qi and Chen Qing Chen/Jia Yi Fan took home the men’s singles and women’s doubles crowns. Prior to that, in the HSBC BWF World Tour era (starting 2018), China only had five finalists over four editions.
Today, the attempt to make their country the biggest winners another time will be led by Weng Hong Yang (men’s singles), Chen Yu Fei (women’s singles), Chen/Jia, Zheng Si Wei/Huang Ya Qiong and Feng Yan Zhe/Huang Dong Ping (both mixed doubles).
