Mum-to-be Liu Ying advises retired athletes to keep working

The former mixed doubles shuttler Liu Ying wants every athlete to have a sense of self-worth even when they are not under the spotlight anymore.

“I’ve just retired from the sport and it’s easy to feel down as you are not in the limelight anymore. Some feel they don’t have that self value anymore. I want to encourage all athletes that there’s more to life after retirement,” she added. “I love being sporting and elegant too, so I’ve started this new gown rental business with the same concept.”

Life has changed drastically for Liu Ying after she retired in January. She got registered soon after and is now five months into her pregnancy.“I was called mummy during my playing days but now, I’m going to be a real mum. I want to do as much as I can before I focus on giving the best care for my child,” she said.
