Sporting Career Accomplishments: I have a few different great achievements that come to mind. Firstly being the first ever and only Australian to win the Junior Asian championships in 2003. More recently winning the 2011 World Universiade Championships in China (only Australian to do so) and now making the Olympic team is a great accomplishment as well.
Sporting idol: Roger Federer- His character on and off the court is humbling and what he has achieved in his career is amazing.
What does it mean to be selected for Olympics? Making the Olympic team is a feeling that leaves me speechless. My life long dream has been to win the Olympic Games so I am only half way there. To be able to share this experience with my partner Carmen Marton who is the female competitor and my brother Ali Khalil as the Olympic coach has made this the ideal journey.
