Not surprisingly the favorite players gave an exceptional show and the new world champions are now known. The players from Asia won almost everything except the men's singles where the Danish player Viktor AXELSEN added the title of world champion in men's singles to his already impressive record. In mixed doubles the German pair M. LAMFUSS and I. LOHAU, European champions, managed to get to the third place next to the Chinese Olympic champions WANG and HUANG.
