2008 Olympic Bloggers: Kamilla Juhl
by Galwin ~ August 24th, 2008. Filed under: Olympics.
Kamilla Juhl is a female badminton player from Denmark.
What do you enjoy most about blogging as an athlete?
I enjoy to come out to my fans and get a bit closer to them. I like the good feedback they give me, and I like the support. - I also like to blog so my family and friends can be updated. In a blog you can be more honest and write want I want, so its different from the press.
What’s the best moment of your sports career?
I have many great moments in my sports career. And have some things I will never forget.. The first time my partner Thomas Laybourn and I played All England, we reached the finale and it was our first big results, it was huge. I like to be the underdog, and in ladies double a few weeks ago, my partner in ladies double and I won the European championships, and it was a surprise and our first big win.
What are you most looking forward to in Beijing?
EVERYTHING!! - Its my first Olympics and I can’t wait! - To play the biggest event its a dream come true, and I look forward to just being there and experience the whole thing myself. I also look forward to see how I perform, cause its an event I have never played before. And I look forward to the first time I have to get my meal, so I can sit and look at all the other athletes… and get autographs.. ha ha 
Anything else we need to know about you?
I’m starting my own project right after the Olympic where, together with my friend Judith Meulendijks, will train young talents in badminton. - I really like to learn young players what I have learned. - In the project its only girls, cause we believe they need female coaches instead of men all the time.
Juhl won the 2006 European Badminton Championships in mixed doubles with partner Thomas Laybourn, and a bronze medal in women’s doubles with Lena Frier Kristiansen[1]. She also competed at the 2006 IBF World Championships in mixed doubles (with Thomas Laybourn), and were defeated in the quarterfinals by Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms 21-14, 21-17.
