Peter Gade


Character Introduction

Peter Gade, Danish men’s badminton singles player, highest world ranking of No. 1, career record of 470 wins and 128 losses, once ranked No. 1 in the world for 62 consecutive weeks, he is one of the best singles players in the world, but has not won a single Olympic Games, World Championships or even the Thomas Cup.
 
Racket-handling right-handed, Gade learned to play badminton at the age of 4 and at the age of 6 made a rather wise decision in his life: he chose badminton. Although he loved playing soccer and wanted to play it, he eventually chose the sport that his parents had played all their lives: badminton, which has been his best sport ever since.

In 1997, he won the Danish Open Men’s Singles Runner-up, the Chinese Taipei Open Men’s Singles Champion and the Hong Kong Open Men’s Singles Champion.

In 1998, Gade was ranked No. 1 in the world and began to win several open titles.

In 1999, Gade won his first All England Badminton Championships title by defeating Indonesian badminton prodigy Taufik in the final of the tournament, and in the same year, he won the World Badminton Grand Prix Men’s Singles title.

When the Sydney Olympics opened in 2000, Gade competed in the men’s singles badminton tournament, at which time he was in peak form and ranked No. 1 in the world. Gade played well in the first four rounds and successfully entered the semifinals, where he met China’s Ji Xinpeng. At the beginning of the match, Ji Xinpeng beat Peter Gade with 15-9 in the first set and took the first set; in the second set, Gade quickly adjusted his condition and took the second set with 15-1; in the deciding set, both sides kept alternating their scores, and Ji Xinpeng beat Gade with 15-9 in the last set to enter the final. This Olympics was a regret for Gade.

In 2001, Gade participated in the World Badminton Championships and successfully entered the final, but he was defeated by Indonesia’s Ye Chengwan in the final and won the second place, meanwhile, Gade was suspended for two years due to injuries.

In 2004, Gade came back to the game, he won the European Badminton Championships.

In 2004, when the Athens Olympics began, Gade again competed in the men’s singles badminton tournament, but Gade was already 28 years old and past his prime, and he was eliminated by Indonesian badminton prodigy Taufik in the last 8, stopping in the last 8.

In 2008, Gade again competed in the Beijing Olympics, at the age of 31. Gade was eliminated in the round of 8 by China’s number one player Lin Dan, stopping him again in the round of 8.

On November 1, 2012, Gade officially registered his retirement with the Badminton World Association, ending his 19-year badminton career.
