PETALING JAYA: There is a strong possibility that youngster Goh Jin Wei may play in her first Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in August.

Tee Jing Yi has qualified for the Games, but she injured her right ankle in the first leg of the National Circuit last Saturday. The 25-year-old, who competed in the 2012 London Olympics, was forced to retire in the women’s singles final against Jin Wei while trailing 2-11 at the Juara Stadium.
