Eduan’s coach Clovis Asong praised her commitment to both her training regime and study commitments.
“Three hours of sleep and then she’s down there training, then she goes home, a little rest – sometimes not even a little rest – and then go straight down to a night shift,” he said.
“I’d tell her every time, ‘I don’t know how you do it’ because it’s hard.”
He said now she was focused on training full-time there were “great things ahead”.
“I think the last three years have definitely been a success, especially when I’m going to be able to graduate as a fully qualified midwife,” Eduan said.
“I’m really proud of myself for that, but I want to focus for the time being on being an athlete.”
Eduan said she drew inspiration from her “very strong, very determined” mum.
“I want to make sure that I give myself the best chance to perform at the highest level,” she said.
“This sport is quite short-lived, you’re not here forever.”
