Badminton career

She competed in women's singles at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, and in women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.[1] She represented England and won two gold medals in the women's doubles and mixed team events, at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.[2][3][4]

Following an argument in 1997 with the England team manager Steve Baddeley she switched allegiance to Wales.[5] She represented the Welsh team at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, England,[6] where she competed in the badminton doubles events. She teamed up with Neil Cottrill in the mixed doubles and Felicity Gallup in the women's doubles.[7] Muggeridge continued to represent Wales after the 2002 Commonwealth Games.[8]
