Thailand have young star Ratchanok Intanon. Soon, Malaysia will have Goh Jin Wei
On
Saturday, the 13-year-old Jin Wei from Penang showed power, class and a
lot of fire in her belly to outplay 18-year-old Slyvia Kavita Kumares
21-17, 21-15 in 36 minutes to emerge as the girls’ singles champion in
Division Two of the Kuala Lumpur Open at the Kuala Lumpur Badminton
(KLBA) Stadium in Cheras.
With her win, Jin Wei has sealed a
ticket to play in the National Grand Prix Finals in December where she
will get a chance to challenge the seniors like Tee Jing Yi, Yang Li
Lian and Sonia Cheah.
When
asked about her future plans, Jin Wei, who did the country proud by
winning the Under-15 title at the Thailand International in Trang this
year, said: “It would have been great to compete in these junior
tournaments. I hope to join the BJSS next year and go out for more
tournaments. My main goal is to become a world and Olympic champion in
the future. I will stay focused to achieve these goals.”
