Hello everybody,

I’m writing this update from my Hotel room in Suva in Fiji, where I’m playing my first tournament for the Olympic qualification.

The Olympic qualification has started from this week and will go on until the first week of May 2012.

This is how The qualification for Olympic works:

During this 1 year period (from now until May 2012), players can play as many tournaments as they like but only their top 10 result will count for their world ranking.(of course everybody plays much more than 10 tournaments to give the best chance to themselves to have their own top 10 result).

The world ranking of the first week of May 2012 will determine who has qualified for the 2012 London Olympic Games. Only the top 38 players in Men’s Single in the World Ranking will qualify for Olympic but each nation can only have limited number of players at the Olympic.

I choose Fiji as my first tournament; from here I will go directly to Morocco and will play the Moroccan Open. Then I go back to Denmark for 3 days for a bit of rest and of course some training. After this small break at home I will head to Madrid for the Spanish Open.

I will have an extremely busy tournament schedule like all the other players who have committed themselves for the Olympic qualification race.

I am very motivated and exited about the Olympic qualification. I feel in a good shape and have no serious injury (which is always a good thing before playing a lot of tournaments). As you know, I was at the Beijing Olympic and that has been the highest point of my career so far. But I really would like to be at the London Olympic as well and will do my very best to make it happen. I need to make sure that I will keep my level during this very busy period by training and taking care of my body at the tournaments.

I will keep you posted with my result. You will be able to see more updates especially on my facebook page.
