Create an experience with Lauren Smith

With five Commonwealth medals to her name, Lauren Smith is one of the most decorated players in the history of British badminton and heads to her second Olympic Games in Tokyo. She competed for England in the women's doubles and mixed team events at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow where she won a bronze and silver medal respectively. Then in 2018 on Australia’s Gold Coast, she claimed silver in the mixed doubles and the women’s doubles as well as bronze in the mixed team. Since her Commonwealth Games heroics, she’s built great momentum heading into the Olympic Games in Tokyo, winning gold at the 2019 European Games in Minsk in the mixed doubles. Smith earned an automatic qualification place in the mixed doubles alongside her partner on and off the court, Marcus Ellis, after finishing in eighth spot on the BWF Race to Tokyo rankings. And she will also compete alongside Chloe Birch in the women's doubles as she fights on two fronts in Tokyo.
