The Olympic and world badminton champion had “collapsed” at the end of the year, but she already looks recovered to face an exciting 2026
Carolina Marín surprised in the middle of Christmas by announcing that she was staying away from social networks for a while to focus on recovering and revealed that he had not had a good time in the previous weeks and that he needed to give himself some time to reflect to make decisions.
The message was surprising less than four months before the 2026 Badminton European Championship starts on April 6, which will be held in Huelvawhere the presence of the best European player of all time is expected.
“I have collapsed,” Carolina Marín acknowledged then, who had been overwhelmed by everything she had to encompass, from his preparation and physical recovery to the multitude of galas and recognitions in which he was present. After just over two weeks of ‘break’, the Andalusian champion has announced that she is now back. “We will go slowly, but we are back,” Marín publishes on his social media profiles.
Carolina Marín has published a video in which he has talked about the reasons that have led him to stop and in which he has confirmed that 2026 is going to be his year. “You already know that my end of the year was quite complicated, I made the most of it. I resisted and sought peace of mind with myself, especially to know how to face 2026, since for me it is going to be a very special year. That is why I made the decision to leave social networks, because in the end I feel that they demand a lot of my time. In the end you always see from the other side the good and the beautiful, but you know how you are, you know how you feel and that is why I wanted to make that decision. “I really needed rest, that’s why this Christmas I have been surrounded by my family and friends,” the player comments in the video.
Carolina Marín returns stronger
The Olympic and world badminton champion focused her message on personal issues, commanding a message of affection to his followers and made it clear that everything is a process to continue advancing as an athlete and as a person in his desire to improve.

“I have always tried to open myself up to all of you, showing you my flaws and at the end of the day, many times you realize that you are not prepared, because you feel vulnerable, because there are times when you don’t even accept yourself and, at the end of the day, one also needs that pause to know why things are happening. But I have always tried to be very close to all of you, because all the expressions of affection that I have always received, all the support, I wanted to return it to you in any way possible.. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support, all the empathy, the affection that you always give me and, above all, say that I love you very much,” indicated the Andalusian.
Carolina Marín is now less than three months away from the competition that has made her so excited. It will have to be tested before, something that is not known when it will be, but it should not take long. What she does know is that the mascot of the Huelva Badminton Europeans, Loba Luz, has been created in honor of her.
