Reason: She took up badminton as a form of rehabilitation, having played the sport since she was age six. “I played sport before my accident but nothing too serious. When I was in the hospital bed, I actually asked my doctor, ‘Can I play badminton after my amputation?’. And the doctor said, ‘You can climb Mount Everest if you wish. You can do anything’. When I started with my rehabilitation process, sport helped me quicken it.” (paralympic.org, 15 Jun 2022; vogue.in, 23 Oct 2020; olympics.bwfbadminton.com, 19 Sep 2019)
