Career
Lind was born in Hørsholm, Denmark, and began playing table tennis during primary school. His first club was Vedbaek.4 He made his first international appearances in 2010 and became more prominent internationally from the mid-2010s. In 2017 he competed at both the European Championships and the World Championships; at the latter event he was eliminated in qualification in the singles competition, while Denmark finished 17th in the team event.2
In 2018 Lind won the under-21 singles title at the Croatia Open. From 2018 to 2020 he played for TTC Zugbrücke Grenzau in the Table Tennis Bundesliga, having previously played in Germany for 1. FSV Mainz 05.5 At the 2019 European Games in Minsk, he reached the round of 32 in singles and finished fourth with the Danish men's team, which lost the bronze-medal match to Portugal.6
For the 2020–21 season Lind moved to France to play for G. V. Hennebont.7 On 23 March 2021 he was seriously injured in a car accident, suffering, among other injuries, fractures to two vertebrae. According to reports, a long spinal operation prevented permanent paralysis, but the accident caused him to miss the qualification tournament for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.8 He later returned to competition and won the French championship and the ETTU Cup with Hennebont in the 2022–23 season, alongside players including Chuang Chih-yuan, Kristian Karlsson and Ioannis Sgouropoulos.38
Since the 2024–25 season Lind has played in the Table Tennis Bundesliga for Borussia Dortmund.9 After winning the WTT Feeder Olomouc 2023, he added another WTT Feeder title at WTT Feeder Panagyurishte 2024. He attracted international attention at the China Smash 2024 in Beijing, where he defeated world number one Wang Chuqin and reached the semi-finals.10
Lind made his Olympic debut at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. In the men's singles, he defeated Marcos Freitas and Miłosz Redzimski before losing in the round of 16 to Tomokazu Harimoto.1 In September 2025, at WTT Champions Macao 2025, he defeated another world number one, Lin Shidong, in seven games and reached the semi-finals of a WTT Champions event for the first time, where he lost to Hugo Calderano.11 He had already won his first WTT singles title at WTT Contender Lagos 2025 earlier that year. In November 2025 he reached another WTT Champions semi-final in Frankfurt after victories over Hwan Bae, Shunsuke Togami and Félix Lebrun.12 These results helped him qualify for the WTT Finals 2025, where he lost in the first round to Truls Möregårdh.13
