This image is as found at this page. It was found on the official Danish Badmintion Union's website aka Danmarks Badminton Forbund (DBF). According to this page on same website, copyright of all images on the site are held by Sportfoto, and what they have is a low-resolution image of original. I have contacted DBF about the copyright and received the reply that they have rights to use the photo, but not the right to extend use to others. However, they said this image is likely older than their agreement with Sportfoto, an outfit that I have been unable to find. However, due to the age of the photo, they are not exactly sure who owns it. The exact age of the photo is unknown, but it is considerable and I have used it here. It passes several tests for US fair use (although this copyright is Danish. There is no profit motive, it is for educational purposes and it is of reduced size from the original.
