How does it feel, Carolina?

Spanish teenage wonder Carolina Marin will feel the Olympic flair and spirit for the first time in her young career.
Jij het nieuws, wij een tikkie!
We asked the 18-year old from Madrid to spare her emotions on the coming event in London with us.
About her feelings
I am very excited already. I know that the Olympics is a very special tournament but I must keep the focus on my matches and not about that special environment during the Olympics. I guess my young age is not a disadvantage. I have already played a lot of tournaments. Taking part at the Olympics will give me more experience, of course. I am looking forward to every match. We are now waiting for Monday's draw.
About the opening ceremony
I won’t join the opening ceremony because the badminton tournament starts the next day and it will be so tough for myself to be there. I’m sad about that because I know it would be really nice to follow the show but I have to take care of myself.
