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.
