FBD Insurance, primary sponsors of Team Ireland, have released a new video starring Ireland Badminton International Nhat Nguyen as he reveals the close family ties and disciplined preparation powering his Olympic dream.
The mini-documentary, titled ‘My Olympic Journey’, reveals the challenges Nguyen faced having moved to Ireland from Vietnam as a child, as he looks back fondly on growing up in Dublin with his family and taking up badminton at the age of seven.
The documentary, shot solely by Nguyen, provides an insight into the meticulous training regime he has undertaken in his bid for Tokyo 2020, while shining a light on the close relationship he shares with his family.
The three-time national champion recently enjoyed a landmark win over World Number 13 Srikanth Kidambi at the All-England Open on St. Patricks Day. With Tokyo 2020 firmly in his sights, the win was a clear indication that the former European U-17 gold-medallist is moving in the right direction.
In January, Nguyen was announced as one of the recipients of the ‘Make A Difference’ programme, a €50,000 grant funded by the Olympic Federation of Ireland, in conjunction with official sponsor FBD Insurance, with the aim of assisting Ireland’s Olympic hopefuls in their preparation for the Olympic Games.
