Ulla Strand (21 Maret 1943 – 7 Agustus 2007) (lahir sebagai Ulla Rasmussen) adalah pemain bulu tangkis Denmark yang berprestasi dari awal 1960an hingga awal 1970an. Meskipun ia memenangkan tiga gelar tunggal nasional Denmark dan mencapai final tunggal putri di Kejuaraan All England pada tahun 1965, sebagian besar kemenangan kejuaraan utamanya terjadi di nomor ganda (seringkali bersama saudara perempuannya Karin Jorgensen) dan ganda campuran. Menarik dan karismatik, dia menjadi favorit penonton sepanjang kariernya.
Dia termasuk dalam Badminton Hall of Fame pada tahun 1999. Ulla Strand meninggal pada tahun 2007 setelah lama sakit.[2]
Career
Strand won 10 All England Open Badminton Championships titles, 7 in mixed doubles and 3 in women's doubles. She also won 21 Danish National Championships between 1961 and 1974, and 19 Nordic Championships between 1962 and 1973.
1972 Summer Olympics
Strand competed in badminton at the 1972 Summer Olympics, as a demonstration sport competition. In women's singles, she lost in the first round against Noriko Nakayama, 11-5, 11-9. In mixed doubles she played with Svend Pri, and they were beaten in the final by Derek Talbot and Gillian Gilks of Great Britain, 15-6, 18-16.
