Team Great Britain’s Charley Hull claimed the 2024 Paris Olympic Games’ ban on smoking would affect her chance of winning the gold medal in golfing. The 28-year-old refuted that her poor result at the opening Olympic women’s golf was caused by her unhealthy habit. Charley’s viral puffing routine reportedly helps the Olympian cope with her attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Charley shot a poor 9-over-par 81 in Wednesday (August 7)’s opening round of the Olympic women’s golf tournament, which took place in Saint-Quentin-En-Yvelines in France.
Asked on Tuesday (August 6) if she thought the Olympics ban on smoking would affect her upcoming performance at Le Golf National, the number 11 in the world in golf rankings told reporters: “I think it will because it relaxes me a little bit. But it is what it is.”
