SWEDISH INTER'L - Jorgensen back

Jan Jorgensen has completed his recovery from his back injury and will be back to perform in the neighbouring Swedish Internationals this week end, part of the EBU circuit. The young Dane, who has entered history for being the first Dane in 10 years to beat his compatriot Peter Gade - had suffered a set back when he was told to stay out of practise for a while. "At first, the doctors thought something was wrong with my discus, but it turned out to be that my lower back muscles where just too tense. Then, the best way to get rid of it was to work had in the fitness center" said Jorgensen. "Now, I have started training again since the beggining of december, so I am aiming for a strong comeback for the next months" added the Dane.

Seeded 5th, he will be playing Yuhan Tan of Belgium in the first round, with Ville Lang and top seed Eric Pang as probable opponents to come, in Sweden. The Danes have sent a strong contingent in Stockholm with no less than 5 shuttlers involved in the men's single event.
