Independent women’s singles badminton player Goh Jin Wei has withdrawn from the Malaysia Games (Sukma), and the gold medal is up for grabs for other players.
Jin Wei is considered the hot favourite for the gold medal. She withdraws from Sukma to participate in the India International Challenge.
Penang team manager Razlan Rajan Abdullah confirmed that Jin Wei decided to withdraw from Sukma to participate in the International Challenge.
Gold Medal Open Up For Other Player After Jin Wei's Withdrawal
Jin Wei’s decision to withdraw from the decision blew up Penang’s hopes of getting a medal and left the door open for other players, such as Eoon Qi Xuan and Siti Nurshuhaini Azman, to battle it out for gold.
Qi Xuan said that she had minor knee surgeries and is still working on getting back to full fitness. She won’t put much hope into getting a medal in Sukma as she is not 100% fit. She won’t be setting any specific targets for the competition but will give her best in the game.
Qi Xuan will focus on the Indonesian Masters after the Sukma. She hopes her knee will get better soon to allow her to play in a better condition in future tournaments.
