SHUTTLER Gu Juan has returned to the national women's badminton team, less than 16 months after leaving Singapore.
The 19-year-old Singapore citizen had left for Shanghai to pursue her studies last year, but realised subsequently that she still has a passion for the sport.
'At that time, I was tired of badminton and I didn't think that I would want to return to the sport,' she said of her decision to leave. 'But after three months, I started to miss it. I'm still young, so I shouldn't give up so soon. I need to persevere.'
