Denmark again clamped an iron grip on the European badminton men's singles title on Saturday.
Four-times champion Peter Gade and compatriot Jan Joergensen won their semi-finals to ensure Denmark will win their 10th title in a row since 1992 in Sunday's final in Manchester.
The championships are held every two years.
Top seed Gade edged past German third seed Marc Zwiebler 18-21 21-12 21-17. Joergensen, seeded two, beat English champion Rajiv Ouseph 21-14 22-20, brushing aside a late rally by the fourth seed who led 19-16 in the second game.
The women's title could also go Denmark's way after second seed Tine Rasmussen won her semi against Russia's Ella Diehl 21-14 21-16. Rasmussen now plays Germany's third seed Juliane Schenk who beat top seed Pi Hongyan of France 21-14 21-13.
