The never-say-die spirit of Danes Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen was on full display at London 2012, when they came from a game down, and saved a match point, to win their men’s double semifinal over then world No.1s Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae.
They remain the only European men’s doubles pair to play an Olympic men’s doubles gold medal final.
Boe is back in action at Paris 2024 as coach of India’s third seeded pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty.
