Interview with taekwondo star Aaliyah Powell

By the age of 17, British taekwondo practitioner Aaliyah Powell had achieved a number of sporting triumphs, including gold and silver medals at the Junior World and European Championships and bronze at the 2019 World Taekwondo Championships. She has now set her sights on competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Nabillah Akhtar interviewed her about her achievements

AP I used to enjoy athletics, it’s what got me interested in the Olympic movement to begin with as my sister used to train alongside Jessica Ennis and I was pretty good at short-distance power-based sprinting.

I also liked being goal shooter/attack in netball because it was quite fast paced, and trampolining because it was fun and I got to have a laugh with my mates.
