Emma Raducanu shares her 2024 Olympic plan with comeback on the horizon

Emma Raducanu has admitted that she isn’t putting any pressure on herself to play at the Olympic Games as she plots her comeback for 2024. The Brit has been sidelined since undergoing surgery earlier this year but is making her return at the perfect time, during an Olympic year

Raducanu’s injury woes have stopped her from meeting the regular requirements to represent Team GB in Paris but she could still make a good case given that her absence hasn’t been through any fault of her own.

While the former world No 10 would love to experience the Olympics, Raducanu isn’t putting any pressure on making the cut as she believes she will have plenty of opportunities. The Brit’s injury woes have stopped her from meeting the regular requirements to represent Team GB in Paris.

She could still make a good case to be given her recent injuries and surgeries but isn’t putting the Olympics in her guaranteed plans for 2024. “I didn’t even know I could still play. I was like, there’s no way I can play the Olympics. I had no idea,” Raducanu told BBC Radio 4 Today.

“Obviously the Olympics is such a big thing in sport. I think I could play another four if I wanted to. So this one isn’t any immediate rush or pressure. I think for me it’s just getting back on court. I love the Slams but of course I would want to have the Olympic experience. I’ll just see how it goes, if I even qualify or how it happens from there.”
