arolina Marín, the Spanish badminton superstar, has announced a break from social media. The three-time world champion and Olympic gold medalist (Paris 2024) shared her decision via an Instagram post earlier today, citing the need to “isolate myself a little bit from social media” and to focus on her mental health.
“I have collapsed, I am not at my best and I need to be happy. That is why I want to isolate myself from social networks.”
Fighting Back from Injury
Marín, 32, has been battling injuries, most notably the cruciate fracture of her right knee sustained in the Paris Olympics semifinals in 2024 (Antena 3). This setback came after a series of serious knee injuries, leaving her future in the sport uncertain.
“I am devastated, I don’t know if I will play again,” Marín admitted shortly after her injury (Antena 3). Now, nearly a year and a half later, she is still working her way back from her injuries.
