Badminton - Olympics: Day 11
Badminton had to compete with Football and Tennis

Marin was born in a country where sports meant only Football & Tennis. There are roughly 7000 players playing badminton at all levels in Spain and apart from Marin & Beatrix Corrales, they do not have any top-level Badminton players.

Also, due to a lack of top quality women badminton players, Marin usually trains with male players or juniors. Moreover, she travels to Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia for training due to the lack of world-class facilities in Spain.
