Growing up in Liège, Belgium, Christine Jacobs-Wagner was ranked as the top badminton player in the country. She was planning to compete in the Olympics, when in 1993 she suffered a shoulder injury at the age of 24. That meant Jacobs-Wagner, a graduate student in biochemistry at the time, had to permanently trade her racquet for a pipette, but she didn't leave her spirit of competition behind.
