Rise and shine! (Or rise and dark?) Liwen starts her morning early, at just 6:18 a.m. After getting out of bed, brushing her teeth and changing into her badminton uniform, she and her ISB homestay athletes (Prong Danchaivichit and Nisha Chaiyapatranun) eat their breakfast. What’s on the menu today? McDonald’s Hotcakes.

7:11 a.m. and out the door they go! Athletes are expected to get to SAS by 8 a.m..
9:21 a.m.
Liwen’s first game of the day is at 10:30, so about an hour before, she’s getting ready and warming up. How to spot a SAS girl badminton player? The red hair ribbon! Athletes are in and out of their uniform, but most of the girls keep the red ribbon on for good luck and team spirit!

The SAS girls begin warming up and getting ready for their game.

Since Liwen’s not playing for the rest of the day, so she cheered on her homestay buddies, Nisha (pictured above) and Prong for their games that evening.
