As the 2016 Olympic Games passes its halfway point, Denmark has accumulated seven medals and the nation’s 10-medal goal is looking promising.
With a bit of luck, the Danes could very well get another medal or two today with Lasse Norman Hansen finishing up in the omnium and Anne-Marie Rindom sitting second before the final medal race in the women’s laser radial.
Elsewhere, Denmark’s two top badminton men, Viktor Axelsen and Jan Ø Jørgensen, are eyeing a quarter-final birth in the singles, while gold medal favourite Rene Holten Poulsen will hit the water for the first time in the kayak men’s singles 1,000m sprint.
