Perdeby asked Van Wyk how she felt about her performance in the final compared to her performance in the preliminary round. Van Wyk said, “I was very nervous for my preliminary round and felt desperate to prove to myself that I belong at the Commonwealth Games.” When Van Wyk got the news that she qualified for the finals, she said she felt “ecstatic” for having achieved a childhood dream. “Although my last routine was not clean, I had the most fun”, she said. Bongani Von Bodenstein proudly represented South Africa in Badminton despite not making it further than the first round. Speaking to Perdeby, he said, “The experience was breathtaking, purely magical. I’m incredibly thankful to God that I was able to represent my country and compete at the Commonwealth Games.”
