KUALA LUMPUR: National women's squash player Rachel Arnold is already 28, but she has two boxes to tick.
Ranked 23rd in the world, her goals are to break into the world's top 10 and play in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The Malaysian No. 2 hopes to reach that elite level by the time squash debuts as a medal sport in the 2028 Olympics.
Rachel, who turned professional in 2010, said although she is 28, she hopes to represent Malaysia in tournaments until 2028.
"Hopefully I can play until the Olympics. My aim is to be in the world's top 10 in a few years' time."
If Rachel competes in the Olympics, she will have done her father, Raymond Arnold, a former Kuala Lumpur footballer and national squash player, proud.
"I'm still not satisfied with my performance. I know there's a lot more I can do.
"This year, I had some very tough draws, facing world's top 10 players in the second round. I think it helps me to see where I stand as well, and what I can work on so that I can give them a stronger fight," said Rachel, who lost to Egypt's fifth seed Nour El Tayeb in the British Open second round in Birmingham recently.
