She was originally Malaysian and became naturalized French on 21 August 2013 after living in France for over 9 years together with her sister Teshana Vignes Waran, at that time also a professional badminton player.
Born and raised in Malaysia, Sashina Vignes Waran and her sister, Teshana, who is a year younger, were educated with the idea that moving to Europe would give them more opportunities for success in their discipline.
[4] In 2003, Sashina Vignes Waran met her future French trainer, Julien Fuchs, during a trip to Malaysia for a badminton course.
They were then housed at the Center for Sports Resources, Expertise and Performance (CREPS) in Alsace and joined the ASPTT Strasbourg, where Julien Fuchs worked.
For their naturalization procedures, the two sisters received the support of the Minister of Sport, Valérie Fourneyron, who took the matter to heart after their appearance in the television program Stade 2, on France 2, in November 2012.
[7] Sashina Vignes Waran was crowned French badminton champion in singles in 2014 and 2015 and was bronze medalist in doubles in 2014 with her sister Teshana Vignes Waran On 28 March 2015, during a quarterfinal round of the Orléans Masters Tournament, she suffered a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral and medial patellar retinaculum in her left leg, requiring surgery.
As part of the performance pact initiated by the Ministry of City, Youth and Sports, this contract aims to guarantee a long-term professional retraining within this company.
[9] After 7 months absence, Sashina Vignes Waran returned to international competition in October 2015, on the occasion of the Bitburger Open 2015 in Saarbrücken.
She hoped to return to her best level for the European Championship in April 2016 and by achieving qualification for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro by remaining the best French in the women's singles world ranking at the end of that qualifying period.
After a poor reception, Sashina Vignes Waran suffered another knee injury during the final of the 2016 French Badminton Championship, forcing her to retire.
