Newly-crowned world champion Jin Wei is still 'hungry' after success


Jin Wei won the world junior crown in Peru three weeks ago..

KUALA LUMPUR: “I want food. I love all Asian meals. First, it will be dim sum ... then Japanese food. But right now, I just want to have a good rest.”

Those were the first thoughts of 15-year-old Goh Jin Wei – Malaysia’s new badminton star – after she defeated compatriot Lee Ying Ying 21-15, 21-16 in 35 minutes to lift the girls’ singles crown at the World Junior Championships in Lima, Peru, on Sunday.
