Elena Clare Johnson (born 2 November 1985) is a badminton player from Guernsey who competed in the Island Games since 2001 and the Commonwealth Games five times.[1][2][3][4]

Career

In 2010, Johnson attempted to find a doubles partner for the 2011 Island Games in Gayle Lloyd. As Lloyd was deemed just short of the permanent residence status required to compete for Guernsey in the games, Johnson did not compete in women's doubles at the 2011 games.[5]

For the 2021 Island Games in Guernsey, Johnson will be serving as player-manager for the Guernsey Badminton Association.[6]
