Another year, another chat with @ViktorAxelsen for https://t.co/WlVof7MDH2 at the #BWFWorldChampionships!

The world No. 1 and defending Olympic and world champion in badminton men’s singles is always an absolute joy to meet and such a sincere human being.

New year, new city, new role.

One year after leaving Madrid for DC and the University of Maryland, I’m excited to start off 2026 as the ‘Associate Director of Championships Social Media’ at the NCAA in Indianapolis.

Grateful for the journey and excited for what’s ahead!

The duo we didn’t know we needed.

A slight miss by Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma not to mention ex-IOC President Bach sitting next to Goodell at the Bernabeu. I don’t think they knew who he was. 🤦‍♂️
