As a player, he spent twelve years in the top three of the world rankings. Morten Frost represented Denmark on the national team from 1976 to 1991, longer than anyone else.
During his career, Frost won almost every available top level championship, except the World Badminton Championships where he scored a silver medal twice (1985 and 1987). When he lost his second World Championship in the finals, the headlines rang out "The World"s greatest badminton player may never be World Champion." While this may be the enduring footnote to his career, Frost dominated at the much coveted All England Open Badminton Championships (comparable to Wimbledon in tennis). He won that tournament in 1982, 1984, 1986, and 1987. He also was European champion in 1984 and 1986. He won the Nordic championship each year from 1978 through 1984 and again in 1988. Frost is also distinguished by winning all of the invitational Grand Prix tournaments at least once, including his home country"s Denmark Open, of which he was champion 1980-1986 and 1989.
