Growing up, Carolina Marin showed a natural talent for dancing and was heading for a potential career in flamenco. Thankfully, a fortuitous introduction to badminton steered her life in a different direction. Marin has become one of the world's most celebrated players, making swift movements around the court instead of the dance floor and breaking Asia's dominance of the sport.
Carolina Marin's Early Life
Born in Huelva in the south of Spain on 15 June 1993, young Carolina discovered her love for badminton at an early age when a schoolmate invited her to a training session.
"I discovered badminton at the age of eight, thanks to a schoolmate. Since then, I have been in love with this sport, and over time, it has become my way of life," she shared about her passion for the sport.
As time passed, her talent and dedication to badminton grew stronger. She decided to fully devote herself to the sport, which required her to leave her hometown and family at a young age to train at the National Centre in Madrid. At 13 years old, she won her first national championship. Her hard work and perseverance led her to the Joaquín Blume Residence in Madrid, where she met her future coach, Fernando Rivas.
I can because I think I can.
