For me, it was a pinch-me moment. I just saw the glitter in my Mum's eyes, and my Dad turns around and said to me, 'Son, I'm extremely proud of you.' The two of them said it was the happiest day of their life.
I'm fine now, but I won't pretend I wasn't shaken, she said. For a week I second-guessed every bump, every look, even crossed the road to avoid people. I shared the incident online and since the TikTok went viral, with that came an influx of more racist comments. Ms Choudry said the experience had left her heartbroken and triggered painful memories of growing up in Sunderland, where she was the only brown girl and suffered racism.
From the start of the tournament I have experienced a lot of racial abuse. Whilst I feel every fan is entitled to their opinion on performance and result I don't agree or think it's ok to target someone's appearance or race.
