She revealed to yours truly that she was a very good football player, but realized that she could make it better with Table Tennis, so when the chance came, she grabbed it and trained hard to be a super player in Ghana.

Her best memorable moment was when she beat a strong set of Ghanaian female players including Beatrice Gyasi, Linda Annor, Cylia Baah Danso and Bernice Borquaye to represent Ghana at the 2011 all African Games in Maputo, Mozambique.

Her saddest time was in 2009 when she did quite well, but was not selected to join the Ghana team for a tournament in Congo, incidentally it was the year she won the SWAG Award. She hinted her hobbies as playing Table Tennis, studying, browsing and sleeping.

Cynthia Kwabi praised Ghana’s Table Tennis coaches especially Coach Whyte for his hard work in grooming star players from nobodies to somebodies and hoped that one day he would be recognized and honoured.
