Kristen Tsai a \u00e9crit une page d\u2019histoire en 2011 quand elle est devenue la premi\u00e8re Canadienne \u00e0 atteindre les quarts de finale des Championnats du monde junior de la BWF. Ce tournoi \u00e9tait disput\u00e9 \u00e0 Ta\u00efwan, ce qui lui a permis de jouer devant des membres de sa famille qui ne l\u2019avaient jamais vu jouer auparavant. Alors qu\u2019elle s\u2019entra\u00eenait en Cor\u00e9e en 2014, elle a subi une rupture du tendon d\u2019Achille et a d\u00fb \u00eatre op\u00e9r\u00e9e. Il lui a fallu trois ans avant de pouvoir reprendre l\u2019entra\u00eenement et garder son tendon d\u2019Achille en bonne forme reste son plus grand d\u00e9fi. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tsai a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 ses premiers Championnats canadiens senior en 2018, remportant le double f\u00e9minin avec Rachel Honderich et le double mixte avec Nyl Yakura, ce qui lui a fait r\u00e9aliser qu\u2019elle pouvait toujours rivaliser avec les meilleurs au pays, malgr\u00e9 sa blessure difficile. C\u2019est aussi en 2018 qu\u2019elle a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 ses premiers Jeux multisports, soit les Jeux du Commonwealth \u00e0 Gold Coast, en Australie. <\/span><\/p>\n

En 2019, Tsai a remport\u00e9 deux m\u00e9dailles aux Jeux panam\u00e9ricains \u00e0 Lima, d\u00e9crochant l\u2019or du double f\u00e9minin avec Honderich et l\u2019argent du double mixte avec Yakura. Tsai et Honderich ont aussi remport\u00e9 le titre des Championnats panam\u00e9ricains en 2018, 2019 et 2021. Un autre de leurs faits saillants de 2021 a \u00e9t\u00e9 leur participation aux quarts de finale de l\u2019Open de Suisse, un tournoi du Circuit mondial Super 300. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tsai et Honderich ont pris part \u00e0 leurs premiers Jeux olympiques \u00e0 Tokyo 2020, o\u00f9 elles ont r\u00e9ussi un record de 1-2 \u00e0 la ronde des groupes.<\/p>\n
