COPENHAGEN, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese badminton team has won an overall victory at the Yonex Denmark Open finals on Sunday, netting all five gold medals of the event.
World No.2 Chen Long defeated Wan Ho Son of South Korea 21-17, 22-20 to claim the men's singles title.
"Both Son and I played at our highest levels," Chen said after the match that won him 45,000 U.S. dollars as award. This is Chen's third Yonex Denmark Open title.
Previously, top seed Li Xuerui won the women's singles final after defeating her compatriot Wang Yihan.

The mixed doubles final at the Odense Sports Center was a clash between Chinese pair Ma Jin/Xu Chen and Indonesian Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir. The Chinese duel finally triumphed with a two-set win 22-20 and 21-15.
