Why Emma Raducanu has fallen from glory to 288th in the world
‘I think perseverance and resilience is one of my biggest strengths,’ Emma Raducanu boldly claimed at the start of this year.
‘Although I’ve had great successes there have also been so many different setbacks.’
In that short film, entitled ‘Fighting Back’, Raducanu spoke philosophically about the external scrutiny on her career and her life, her hunger to return to the top of the sport and the amount of work she has had to put in in a bid to put her injury problems behind her.
She smiled, often, content that her post-surgery troubles, she had had minor surgery on three limbs last year, were now behind her. For 9:11 magazine, Raducanu’s Redemption made for a compelling tale to tell.
