Sweden Helsingborg Sep 15 BWIF World badminton championships

It was an amazing experience to be able to represent England in the World Championships this year and though nerve racking, I am more determined to try to qualify and do better in the European Championships next year. There were over 50 countries represented. This is a few photos of my trip.
We flew into Copenhagen and transferred by train to Helsingborg which was just over an hours journey.  We found some good restaurants and were able to eat at quite reasonable prices compared to usual Scandinavian prices and similar prices to the UK.

It was a large arena and it was difficult to get used to seeing people playing behind you and the drift that everyone talked about due to the size of the venue



I am definitely playing with this racquet next time!!


The following are pictures in and around Helsingborg

A few pictures of the marina and beach










The team stayed at the Marina Plaza hotel which was central just 15 mins walk to the area and next to the train station.
