The Dane polled 145 votes yesterday to beat Justian Suhandinata of Indonesia by 25 votes in Kuala Lumpur, becoming the first European to lead the Badminton World Federation since 1993. Hoyer, who won the singles gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, succeeds Kang Young-joong with the South Korean stepping down after eight years in charge.
