The Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion shares that the 2021 World Championships will be her last, and explains why she found inspiration in American runner Felix, who returned to her sport after becoming a mother and went on to win Olympic relay gold. The Indonesian hopes that her own accomplishments on the badminton court serve as an inspiration for the next generation of female players in her country whenever she does retire.
