from The Star hard copy Goh Giap Chin participated, he lost in QF to Indonesia player - Wisnu Yuli. Goh GC played 1st MS during Team. Our other BD, Calvin Ong/Low Juan Shen lost to Ericson/Selvanus(INA) in QF Then, YLL lost to Thailand GS in Semi. Calvin Ong/Chow Mei Kuan lost to INA XD in Semi.
Kian Meng’s defeat prevents Malaysia making clean sweep Kian Meng is only 16 and he did give a good fight against the older and more fancied Wisnu (who is 18-years-old). Except for Ee Yi-Nelson, the boys’ team comprised younger players from the BJSS,” he said. “There is depth in junior talent and we have to take their game to a higher level when they move up into the back-up squad.” Kim Tho added that Malaysia would have made a grand sweep if they had fielded Asian junior runner-up Loh Wei Sheng or Mohd Azriyn Ayob. In fact, Zulfadli Zulkifli would also have made a difference but he chose to give the championships a skip. ”We did the right thing to try out our younger group of players and they certainly gained experience here,” said Kim Tho. http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2010/7/19/sports/6690215&sec=sports well done great experience
Chance for young shuttlers to break into state programmes “We expect 2,000 entries for the 16 categories.

Wei Sheng, Sonia to face tough time in the quarters Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) coordinator for the junior programme How Kim Tho believes that Wei Sheng has a better shot at reaching the medal rounds now that Sai Praneeth is out of the picture. “The Indian player beat Huang Chao in the world junior meet in Mexico this year and Wei Sheng will fancy his chances of making the semi-finals now,” said Kim Tho. “However, the Singaporean will not be an easy opponent as he is playing on homeground this time.” Sonia, meanwhile, faces a even tougher hurdle tonight as she will be against Asian Junior Championships runner-up Taerattanachai Sapsiree of Thailand. The Thai earned her third successive win by beating Taiwan’s Chiang Mei-hui 21-13, 21-7 to top Group E. Sonia brushed aside Mexican Ugalde Mariana 21-7, 21-10 and topped Group F by beating Tunali Ebru of Turkey 21-7, 21-9 in the evening. http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2010/8/17/sports/6868377&sec=sports all the best
WS won. Well done. Tough match ahead against Pisit. Need to keep his shot low like today. Mental game. Reduce on mistakes.
Gogo Loh Wei Sheng! According to extemenanopower, Pisit is in supreme form but he seems to burn out near the end of the second game. Hopefully LWS can do something about this...!
Thanks so much for the info, George! I'm only having my Maths exam and Mandarin 1 tomorrow so I guess it's okay for me to take a break from studying!
