I would like to welcome everybody to my new site.

The last year has been incredibly frustrating due to a reoccurring virus which first started at the European Champs 2004 in Geneva , and then severely hit my preparation in the build up to the Athens Olympics last summer. This was particularly frustrating after successfully returning to full fitness in months after the previous years hip operation.

The virus has continued to hamper my 2004/05 season. To fully recover from the virus I am following a Specialists training programme which has meant I have had to miss crucial matches for Issy les moulineaux in the French Interclub Final, next weeks Europa Cup and also the Sudirman Cup for Wales which saw us relegated.

However this rest and long training period will hopefully mean I will be up and running next season in time for the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne and the return of the French Interclub title back to IMBC in France .

Many people have been incredibly supportive during this period, so I would specifically like to thank a few, The Sports Council for Wales, my club Issy les moulineaux, and my coach Zhou Junling, I hope to be able to repay them all in the following seasons.

Hopefully the website will be of interest to Badminton fans worldwide but more specifically to young aspiring British players. Any questions then please use the contact section or forum to ask them.
