How did you get into your sport? My parents played and I was always at the badminton hall from a young age. I started playing when I was 4.

What do you love about the sport? It's an exciting game that involves many different aspects – agility, stamina and power and you can meet people from all over the world.

What inspires you? I want to perform well for my family and friends, but most importantly myself. I want to be satisfied and know at the end of the games I did my best and I have no regrets. I want to eventually go to the Olympic Games and perform well on the world stage.
