Badminton star Kirsty Gilmour feels that she’s banging on the door of a major championship win, as she heads to the World Championships in Japan.
Gilmour, 28, from Bothwell, is in Tokyo just over a week after missing out on the bronze medal match at the Commonwealth Games, but takes plenty of positives from Birmingham 2022.
Kirsty narrowly missed out on a place in the women’s singles final as she lost 23-21 21-23 18-21 to Canada’s Michelle Li, then crashed 14-21 20-22 to Singapore’s Jia Min Yeo in the bronze medal match.
