Jørgen Hammergaard Hansen (c. 1930 – 22 August 2013) was a Danish badminton player who won numerous major international titles from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s.[1]
Career
[edit ]Though he competed in singles at a strong international level during the first half of his career, it was as a doubles player that he made his mark, capturing six All-England men's doubles titles with Finn Kobberø (1955, 1956, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964) and reaching the final round of the All-England mixed doubles on three occasions.[2] Noted for his powerful smash which included an ability to smash off his backhand with the heavy rackets of the day,[3] Hammergaard Hansen took part in five consecutive Thomas Cup (men's international team) campaigns for Denmark between 1952 and 1964, winning over 80 percent of his matches.[4] In 1998 he was inducted into the Badminton Hall of Fame.
