These championships have been a bit different from normal, with Covid-19 restrictions affecting many parts of the tournament. The teams have particularly missed their fans; the Jyske Bank BOXEN in Herning has previously hosted several major championships and would have been a sea of red-clad Danish supporters tomorrow night in normal times.
Instead, we know fans are watching online or on TV in their millions, and we all hope you'll continue to tune in for the final weekend!
