Elaine Leong: You're an All
Canadian! How do you feel?

Julia Chen: You’re the first one totell
me. Noone ever told meabout this.

EL:So] guess you weren‘texpecting
this

JC: No. My goal is to play in the
Canadian Open Tournament. So I
was more looking at that than this.
EL: How do you feel knowing that
you've won the National Women’s
Singles Event?

JC: There was... no challenge. It’s
much easier (than the calibre she’s
used to playing). No challenge, I
think.

The Canadian Open
Tournamentisa tournament where
fa from colleges, all athletics
leagues, and universities can all
compete. It’s a tournament where
the very best Ee for Canadian
honours rather than just a
competition among colleges.

Julia Chen is an international
student, coming from Mainland
China, unlike so many Hong Kong
immigrants. Her goal here wasand
still is to learn English.

J. Chen has been playing
badminton for 10 years in China
which includes professional
university calibre. Uponarrivingin
Canada in September, DC coach
Peter Chen had recruited Julia to
play for Douglas College.
