Chen Yu Fei: biggest obstacle is herself at Badminton Worlds

Chen Yu Fei: biggest obstacle is herself at Badminton Worlds

Chen Yu Fei is a very good badminton player from China.

She has already won a gold medal at the Olympic Games.

But there is one big prize she has never won: the World Championship.

Last year she reached the final but lost to a player from Japan named Akane Yamaguchi.

Now she is playing at the World Championships in New Delhi, India, and wants to win.

She says the hardest thing is not other players but believing in herself — 'the biggest obstacle is myself.'

Her ankle was hurt before the final last year, and she thinks her body is still not 100% ready.

She also says she does not feel pressure, even though no Chinese woman has won this title since 2011.

Chen just wants to try her best in every match and not worry about anything else.
