The Bothwell ace is Great Britain's sole singles representative in the French capital this summer
Badminton star Kirsty Gilmour is delighted to have been selected for Paris 2024, says ‘three-time Olympian’ has a nice ring to it, and that qualification will never get old.
Kirsty, who won silver at the European Championships last month, will be joined in the squad by men’s doubles pair Sean Vendy and Ben Lane.“The first one in Rio was something pretty special, then Tokyo happened under such strange circumstances.For Gilmour the quest is for seeding, as she sits just outside of the world top 20, and has targets for the Games in France.
She said: “For me to get to a quarter-final of an Olympic Games, I’d be happy to say that I’ve done it.“The only thing that really changes is the prestige of it, but that’s such an ‘outcome’ way to think of it.
