Re her leg cramps, she has mentioned before, I think after her win over the Thai player Jindapon , that she is frequently prone to it, especially by the second to third game. Hope her coach and trainers and Morten Frost will help her get stronger past this minor hurdle. She's still very young. Future looks bright as long as she trains properly and is free of injuries.
Jin Wei to continue Malaysian challenge in Bangkok BY RAJES PAUL Share this article on Facebook or Twitter to win cash or gadget! Jin Wei (left) with Tan Jinn Hwa in the mixed doubles event in Bangkok. - HAU KIM THO Jin Wei (left) with Tan Jinn Hwa in the mixed doubles event in Bangkok. - HAU KIM THO KUALA LUMPUR: When the dust settled, only the pint-sized shuttler Goh Jin Wei was left standing. On a day her team-mates fell like tenpins, the 15-year-old Jin Wei showed nerves of steel to beat Japan’s Shiori Saito 21-18, 14-21, 21-18 in a 66-minute girls’ singles quarter-final thriller at the Asian Junior Championships in Bangkok. The Penangite, who won a bronze at the Singapore SEA Games last month, will take on top seed He Bing Jiao of China. The singles win more than made up for her disappointment in the mixed doubles quarter-finals earlier in the day. Jin Wei-Tan Jinn Hwa went down fighting 21-17, 21-16 to second seeds Choi Jong-woo-Kim Hye-jeong of South Korea. All indications are that a similar disappointment awaits her in the singles semi-final against the 18-year-old Bing Jiao, who came into this tournament with her confidence sky high after winning the Bonny China Masters in April. Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) project manager Kwan Yoke Meng, however, is just amazed with Jin Wei’s energy and determination. “She played four matches today and at least two matches daily in earlier rounds but she persevered ... I just don’t know where she gets all that energy from,” said Yoke Meng. “She was tired after the mixed doubles. Yet, just hours later, she was back on court fighting for every point (against Saito). She is mentally strong. “She’ll be up against an experienced top junior player from China, who is three years older than her. It will be tough. But we know what Jin Wei is capable of ... she will fight to the end.” Although all the others crashed out, including boys’ singles second seed Cheam June Wei, Yoke Meng declared that he was happy Malaysia did better than last year, when Malaysia had only one representative in the quarter-finals – S. Kisona in the girls’ singles. “We have one semi-finalist this time ... so, that’s an improvement,” he said. “June Wei ran out of gas in the third game. He needs to improve his fitness and power. We had a slim chance in the mixed doubles but the finishing was poor. There’s a lot of work ahead.” Malaysia have never won the girls’ singles title in the Asian Junior meet. http://www.thestar.com.my/Sport/Bad...ding-in-Asian-Junior-Badminton-Championships/
Tough luck for Jin Wei at Asian juniors BY KNG ZHENG GUAN Share this article on Facebook or Twitter to win cash or gadget! Malaysia's Goh Jin Wei in action at the recent Singapore SEA Games. - FAIHAN GHANI/ The STAR Malaysia's Goh Jin Wei in action at the recent Singapore SEA Games. - FAIHAN GHANI/ The STAR PETALING JAYA: In the end it all boiled down to experience. But kudos to teenage shuttler Goh Jin Wei for turning in a gallant fight before going down 21-17, 17-21, 14-21 to China’s top-seed He Bing Jiao in the semi-finals of the Asian Junior Championships in Bangkok on Saturday. The 15-year-old Penangite was far from overawed in her bid to become Malaysia’s first girls’ singles finalist at the Asian Juniors – and she even took the first game 21-17 against the 18-year-old Bing Jiao. The China girl, who bagged the China Masters in April, kept her cool and dug deep to force a rubber. It was neck-and-neck in the third game and, as Jin Wei ran out of steam, Bing Jiao sealed victory after 66 minutes. Bing Jiao, who also won the gold medal at the Youth Olympic Games last year, will meet Thailand’s Chochuwong Pornpawee in the final. Jin Wei’s defeat means Malaysia have now failed to make the final of any event in the Asian junior meet for the second straight year. The petite Jin Wei, who bagged a bronze medal at the Singapore SEA Games, can walk tall after some impressive performances here. “Jin Wei played very well today against a higher ranked and more experienced opponent,” said Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) project manager Kwan Yoke Meng. “They fought point for point in the third game and both girls were tired. The Chinese girl was more experienced. “Jin Wei became nervous and made too many mistakes. “Still, she has done well. It’s also a good experience for her, especially with the World Junior Championships coming up in four months’ time (in Lima, Peru, from Nov 4-15).” In the boys’ event, reigning world junior champion Lin Guipu of China thrashed Japan’s Yuta Watanabe 21-10, 21-12 in the semi-finals. He will meet South Korea’s Seo Seung-jae, who defeated Taiwan’s Lu Chia-hung 21-14, 21-18, in the final. http://www.thestar.com.my/Sport/Badminton/2015/07/04/Tough-luck-for-Jin-Wei-at-Asian-juniors/
Good job. A force to be reckon with in the future. In senior league 2 years time maybe. She could have got a silver if looking at the final score. Bing Jiao got the ball rolling by beating Thailand’s Chochuwong Pornpawee 21-16, 21-17 for the girls’ singles title before Zheng Siwei-Chen Qingchen took the mixed doubles crown by beating Choi Jong-woo-Kim Hye-jeong of South Korea 21-8, 21-12.
Many countries has seen potential players like gosh Jin Wei. They shine bright at young age, but what is crucial is the next few years that will be the transition from junior to senior. Certainly hope she strifes through that.
The training in EU seems to have really paid off... she's in the Belgian International finals... against Kirsty Gilmour... will she pull off a miracle and win her maiden title here?
I believe that Goh Jin Wei can win the gold medal today. She is the future star in making. Only 15 years old but already play so many senior tournaments. Good luck.
Belgian International Finals First set: GJW 21 - 15 KG Enclosed livestream link for the match: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0_z0-98Vog
Wow I am so amazed. Wow Goh Jin Wei won over Kristy Gilmour a senior player much older and also ranked much higher than her. I just hope that she can continue to excel. So young age 15 but already playing in senior ranked tournaments. And the best part of all she managed to win over so many senior ranked players to before advancing to the finals. Yes, also found out that she is indeed the youngest player to play in senior tournaments. Congratulations. Managed to watch her play live matches today and I have only one word to sum it up. Brilliant and superb.
Teenage shuttler Jin Wei won’t let success get to her head BY RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: Many are singing praises over youngster Goh Jin Wei’s first international title at the Belgian International Challenge. But the 15-year-old shuttler will not let the breakthrough get to her head. “A lot of people here in Belgium think that I am great despite my young age ... but I think, there are many other youngsters who are way better than me. But this is surely a good and memorable start for me,” she said in a telephone interview on Sunday. “There are many good young players from Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan and China and I need to catch up.” Jin Wei fought tooth and nail to beat the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games silver medallist Kirsty Gilmour of Scotland 21-15, 21-18 in the women’s singles final in Leuven on Saturday. Earlier, the world No. 326 beat several higher ranked players before winning the final and the winner’s cheque of US$1,500 (RM6,500). In the final, she found herself trailing Gilmour on several occasions but managed to fight her way back into the game. “When I was down, I kept reminding myself to keep on fighting. I wanted a breakthrough badly after losing in the semi-finals of several tournaments this year,” said the Singapore SEA Games bronze medallist. “I must thank my coaches (Wong Tat Meng and Rony Agustinus) for their guidance and everyone for their support. “This is the biggest prize money that I have won so far. It will all go to the bank. I have to focus more on my career and studies,” said the Form Three student. Jin Wei will be out to give another good showing at the Polish International Series in Bierun on Thursday. “I am all energised for another good run. The win has given me loads of confidence. Every tournament gives me new experience and I hope to be ready for the World Junior Championships (in Peru in November),” she said. http://www.thestar.com.my/Sport/Bad...ler-Jin-Wei-wont-let-success-get-to-her-head/
In the recently concluded Belgian International 2015, Goh Jin Wei is using Victor TK8000, her previous racket are Victor HX800, used during SEA Games 2015.
Worry if she peak too fast.......injury or over exertion and she can't continue to dominate the game for years anymore....so many players went down like that in the past.....
yeah, like Wong Mew Choo, Julia Wong, Wong Choong Hann, etc... http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...t-destroyed-Malaysia-Badminton-Players-Career
