HK Vittinghus - I Never Knew When To Give Up (Part 2)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 дек 2023
- Hans-Kristian Vittinghus is a Danish men's singles player whose career spanned more than 1 1/2 decades.
Whilst never the top player from Denmark, Vittinghus earned the respect of fans and fellow players alike through his never say die attitude, what he did on and off the court and his respect, and love for the sport
This documentary pays tribute, in his own words, to this badminton icon laying out his entire career from how he got into badminton, his early career results, how he thought World and Olympic Champion Chen Long would never make it, his infamous diving rally against Lee Chong Wei at the 2012 All England, what it meant to become a World Champion how and whyhe ended his career, plus lots more.
If you are a Vittinghus fan, a badminton fan, or just a sports fan in general, then you won't want to miss this one.
A special thank you to Hans-Kristian Vittinghus for taking the time to talk with me about his career :)

Other than the interview with HK Vittinghus, I don't own any of the footage in this video
Amazingly done. While watching the documentary, I felt like crying at times. I am from India and discovered badminton in my 20s. During that period, I wanted to watch how top players played and learn about who the top players were. At that time, smartphones were not prevalent, and in my rural area of South India, we only had Java phones. We used to watch badminton videos from third-party sites, with only Vittinghus' dive videos and Lee Chong vs. Boonsak Ponsana videos available. For two years, those were the only videos I could watch, allowing me to feel the emotions and mindset of the players.
I never received coaching, but in my locality, where there were four courts, everyone liked my game, respected me, and some were not interested in playing with me because I started playing like him. I never quit, and badminton commentaries also helped me improve. The "never give up" mindset enhanced my game without any coaching, inspired by the dive videos. I am certain I watched them over 1000 times and still continue to do so. Thank you, dear Ben, for creating this documentary. My heartfelt thanks to you. I am now working towards becoming successful. If I achieve that, I will come to see you and give you a hug.
Wow...inspirational story. I'm so glad I could help in any small way. I hope to meet u one day, hopefully watching u play on court. Good luck 👍🏻
@@BenBeckmanBadminton Thank you for offering your willingness to help me in any small way. I sent a request on Instagram.
Incredible Documentary Ben! Both parts 1 and 2 were so masterfully put together. I think having the direct access to HKV also brought a level of depth and richness to the story we seldom get to see. In fact there aren't really any badminton documentaries on any player out there because the likes of Netflix just wouldn't put money in it. I think if you can take your learnings from this and make baddie documentaries your niche (esp biographical ones) you might just have carved yourself a unique place in the baddie media landscape. I hope you'll get access to more and more legends and get to tell their stories (to the english speaking). Amazing brother! words cannot express the gratitude!
Wow...thanks! Yes I'd love to get into that niche and combine it with other story telling. I have a few contacts so maybe more videos like this might come from it 😊
What an incredible documentary on a wonderful player. You will surely be missed, especially at All England
I used to dive as much as Vittinghus until I realised he plays on good quality, bouncy courts and I'm landing my already bruised knees on hardwood lmao
Vittinghus would probably tell you he'd do it anywhere...especially in his early days haha
Nobody can dive on courts intentionally. He is hungry for a win. He never cares about the court; he just wants to win. That's all. The difference between him and you is that you play for diving and fun, while he always plays to win. He just doesn't know when to quit.
Ben great Christmas present for all of us tanks for your hard work. I got into badminton watching montages of him diving around the court and now representing my uni team 5 yrs later
Haha nice! He was inspiration to many. And Merry Xmas (boxing day now) to you too
Great badminton player, one of those you or I keep in mind for motivation! Thanks for creating this documentary
You're very welcome and yes Vittinghus is incredibly motivating
Vittinghus I love when he commentates! I hope he will do analyses and commentary in the future!
I hope so too
Everything is mixed up, emotions, tears, ups and downs of course. The more you watch, the more you feel how athletes struggle to build their careers. Hopefully Hans will be more successful in the future, as a coach or commentator perhaps.
Thanks Ben for this best Video and Merry Christmas 🤶 🌲
It really was a rollercoaster wasn't it?! Yes I know Vittinghus will be doing some coaching and being involved in badminton in some form or another. This isn't the last we'll see of him.
You're welcome, merry Xmas to you too. Glad u enjoyed the video
Great work sir, a great gift for us subs on Christmas eve.
🎅 I come bearing gifts
Wow! What a really long documentary but just as much incredible justice for the Legend that was HKV! Thank you for making this. It was truly a pleasure to watch and looking forward for more!
You're very welcome. Was a pleasure to make. So glad you enjoyed it. Plenty more videos for 2024
Nice pt.2 finally dropped, Merry Christmas Ben! Thanks for the video!!
You're very welcome! Merry Xmas
Many thanks, great work!
You're welcome
Dear Ben, you have done an incredible job preparing this video. I've learned a lot about the man and the player. Fantastic job. Watching it gave incredible pleasure and a lot of knowledge. I want to see your work again. Best wishes for the new year! Congratulations.
Thank you ever so much, glad u enjoyed it and got something out of it. Big things to come in 2024 🙌🏻
Happy Christmas 🎉🎉 to you glad you are back with another video
epic content, ure a rly underated youtuber fr.
Appreciate it. Hopefully not underrated for long 🙂
haha yeah
Really gotta feel for some of the bad luck HKV had in his career, seems like an awesome guy though.
Another great video Ben, thank you for sharing his career with us.
Yeah he did have a lot of things go against him but he his persistence and drive to continue forward was remarkable. Could feel it when interviewing him
As with Part 1, I'm giving this a big thumbs up before I watch as I know it'll be good - anything opening with Gill Clark's voice is going to be good =). Will edit or add another reply after I've finished. Thanks for dropping this on Christmas Day - what a present! Merry Christmas to you Ben and I look forward to more interesting stories in the future!
And Merry Xmas to you. I'll wait to read your edited comment 😏
@@BenBeckmanBadminton I think it was a good part 2. There were a lot of things I did not know about HKV until your video highlighted them (and rightfully so as those were private moments/events).
I think overall, considering both parts, the tone was very much like a documentary of a fallen hero who is still very much alive! =)
This documentary is tremendous Ben and I very much enjoyed both parts, which you were wise to split I think! I’ve been a subscriber for a long time and it’s clear that your editing skills are improving too, it was very well put together. It was different than your usual videos in that it was all in HKSV’s words, which made it really personal. Really, well done! Your channel deserves success and I hope it continues to grow! 😘❤️
So glad to hear that you enjoyed the documentary. And thanks, I hope my editing continues to improve so I can make this content better and better. Yes, when I was thinking on how to put it together it just made sense to have Vittinghus tell it in his own words. Thanks again for your kind words
@@BenBeckmanBadminton One question for you… what is the phrase that all umpires inevitably use during an HKSV match?
this deserves more views!
Agreed
Inspirational 🎉
A truly amazing story from start to finish
I forgot it was Rasmus Gemke who lost to Prannoy and not Vittinghus, now I wonder why they didn't play him in Thomas Cup 2022 semifinal
Gemke was the higher ranked player at the time but you're right, maybe they should have
❤️🔥
But obviously nobody can be as handsome as Ben!
😳
HKV is more handsome😉
It's annoying that you use English/American backgrounds ie "Hospital Entrance". We are in Denmark and speak Danish!
Even more attention to detail next time 👍🏻
