A Year On Tour With Vittinghus - A Badminton Podcast Hans-Kristian Solberg Vittinghus

As promised here's an episode focused on the very intense battles for Olympic qualification which will basically finish next week at the European, Pan Am and Asian Championships.
There's a couple of Future Series events left after that, but they won't have any effect on the battles I mention in this episode.
So tune in if you want to become a little wiser on how the qualifying rules work and which players to keep an extra eye on for the continental championships next week. There's some interesting stuff in all 5 disciplines!
Happy to hear your feedback, both positive and negative.

Hi everyone,
In this episode, which has been available on patreon.com/vittinghus for a few days as a video podcast, I'm interviewing Raphael Sachetat, the founder of Solibad, a charity organization that uses badminton to create programs and help underprivileged children around the world.
I'm sure most of you, if not all, are already aware of Solibad and how fund I am of supporting them. So it was about time to get Raphael on to talk a bit deeper about the background of the charity and the work they do.
Raphael shares his background as a journalist and photographer in the badminton industry and explains how Solibad started. We talk about the Solibad projects in Bekasi, Indonesia, and also in Madagascar, where they provide support and opportunities for children in need.
We also talk about Solibad Days, a fun(d)raising event that aims to raise awareness and funds for the organization.
I hope you all find it interesting and if you want to donate or just learn more about the amazing work they all do, please go visit solibad.net. Remember 100% of all donations go directly to supporting the projects. All administrative fees are covered privately by the amazing volunteers behind Solibad!
Enjoy everyone!

This episode goes through some of the answers All England provided us with last week - with special focus on the questions I asked in the latest episode.
I also offer an update on some of the most interesting battles for Olympic qualification in all 5 disciplines.
So tune in to hear my thoughts - and I already have to apologise for not talking about Marin winning her second AE title. The first one in 9 years and after having had two big knee surgeries! Not sure how I forgot to mention this on the episode, but it's some truly inspiring stuff! Big game player for sure.
Enjoy everyone!

I'm finally back and this time with an episode focused on the 5 most interesting questions we need answers for at All England this week.
I've picked 1 question for each discipline, so tune in to see if you agree with me or if I missed out on something even more interesting!
There are some REALLY interesting battles for Olympic qualification going on and all of a sudden also an open battle about who's world no. 1 in men's singles (who would have thought just 3-4 months ago?).
I try to cover the most intriguing ones in this episode, so hope you find it interesting.
