She literally started the sport in September and found out then this would be her first major event.

To be honest, I have to say that's pretty extreme. But it is good to see lesser known associations being active

I have heard stories from so many national federations here and the small(er) ones get a subsidy from the BWF

Yes the travel grant for those who compete in mixed team event.

 

Brings back memories from Yogyakarta 2017, where 4 Mongolians who compete by themselves because their coach was sick (but later came after the mixed team event), players from Ghana who chose badminton over football. one Dutch player whose mother is Indonesian, and one men's singles from El Salvador who later competed in the Youth Olympics

It's both encouraging and worrying that someone can start a sport and within 2 months play at (junior) world championships :p Although good to see a country like Guyana being represented, hopefully those players will keep up the work.
