Selena Piek has been one of the top badminton players in our country for many years. After a difficult period, the former resident of Weesp has a smile on her face again and is now preparing for this summer’s Olympic Games. “She’s about the corpses.”
“I always look very angry and focused,” says Selena Piek in front of the NH Sport camera. “On the other hand, I think that’s nice. You can show it if you’re disappointed.”
Burn-out
At the previous Olympics in 2016, Piek finished fifth in the women’s doubles and failed in the quarterfinals in the mixed doubles. After that, partly due to injuries and the loss of sponsorship income, she ended up in a burnout. “It was a very uncertain and dark period, but the fact that I have overcome this shows that I have grown a lot. I am proud of that.”
