Born in Denmark, on July 11, 1980, Mathias Boe shined on the badminton court. Multiple gold medal winner Mathias won a silver medal in the 2012 London Olympics. Specialized in Men’s doubles, the Danish star captured multiple European Championships including individual and team events. Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen joined hands and were ranked as number 1 in the widely Asia-dominated sport. Retiring from the action in 2020, the star stayed connected with Badminton as he took India’s star duo Chirag Shetty and Satwik Rankireddy under his wings and guided them to a series of title runs. Their rise from calendar year 2022 has been outstanding and in the Paris Olympics 2024, Mathias Boe is right behind India’s strong medal contender duo.

In 2023, Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy won the Swiss Open, Asia Championship, Korea Open, and BWF World Super 1000 title. Mathias Boe played a vital role in adjusting Sat-Chi’s gameplay, complementing each other on the court. The left-handed shuttler put up extra efforts in developing Sat-Chi as a formidable force on the court and in the recent matches at the Paris Olympics 2024 also, Mathias’ influence is very evident.

Off the court, Mathias Boe is also known as Taapasee Pannu’s husband, at least for Indian film fans. The pair was in a relationship for 11 years and tied the knot in 2024. Considering his marriage and professional relations with Indian shuttlers one can imagine Mathias as more Indian now.
