Charley Hull, a talented golfer from Team GB, is set to compete in the women's golf event starting this Thursday. However, she has expressed some concerns about her chances of winning gold due to the strict smoking ban in place at the Paris Olympic Games. As one of the few golfers who smokes while competing, Hull's usual routine may be affected by the ban.
Last month, Hull gained widespread attention when she was caught on camera signing autographs with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth at the US Women's Open. Despite this attention, she remains focused on her game and is determined to make her mark at the Olympics. However, she recently disclosed that she has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and smoking helps her to concentrate. Unfortunately, she will not be able to do so in Paris due to the smoke-free zones designated by the organizers.
Hull, who finished seventh at the 2016 Rio Games, is worried that the ban will disrupt her usual routine and impact her chances of making it to the podium at Le Golf National. In an interview with reporters before the first round on Thursday, she admitted that smoking on the course is a habit for her and that she won't be able to do so this week. She also mentioned that it helps her to relax and stay focused, but she accepts the situation and will do her best without it.
Despite her smoking antics gaining her a new army of followers on social media, Hull claims she hasn't paid much attention to her newfound cult following. She revealed that she hasn't checked her Instagram in four or five months and leaves all social media activities to her agent. Her main focus is on her game and representing Team GB alongside her close friend Georgia Hall.
Hull is determined to emulate the efforts of fellow golfer Tommy Fleetwood, who won a silver medal in the men's event last week. She expressed her excitement about playing in front of the passionate French crowd and interacting with them. She also loves to entertain the crowd while playing and hopes for a big turnout, with some fans from England making the trip to Paris.
Despite not watching much TV, Hull's friends showed her highlights of Fleetwood's performance, and she was impressed with his achievements. She believes he could have won gold but is still happy with his silver medal. With the support of the crowd and her determination, Hull is ready to give her best shot at the Olympics and hopes to make her country proud.
