She was also the first from WA to qualify for the finals in the under-17 girls category at the World Table Tennis Youth Contender championship. “It’s a dream come true to play at international level. When I started, I really wanted to go to the Olympics, so this is a milestone towards that goal,” Chelsea said. “To be selected for the Olympics, I would need to keep up my training schedule and increase the number of international competitions I compete and do well in. “I train almost every day for about two to three hours, around 20 hours per week, especially leading up to competitions, either with state coaches at the Table Tennis Western Australia centre or the state coaches train with me at my house.” She described the sport as “thrilling” and “fast-paced”.
