PARIS: Despite the gulf in their world rankings – world No. 20 and No. 1,001 – there were moments on Saturday (July 27) when Singapore’s Yeo Jia Min felt like the underdog in her Olympic badminton Group I opener against Dorsa Yavarivafa.
Competing in front of an 8,000-capacity crowd at the Porte de la Chapelle Arena, the Iran-born player, who is competing under the Refugee Olympic Team flag, received the loudest cheers and support from the fans.
