Youngster beats Ohori to reach third round


Proud of you: Goh Jin Wei (right) is being congratulated by coach Datuk Tey Seu Bock after beating Japan’s Aya Ohori in the second round at the Youth Olympic Sports Park Arena yesterday.

YOUNG and small-sized Goh Jin Wei is indeed one who does not give up easily.

The 18-year-old Jin Wei showed her dogged determination to win big in her World Championships debut when she knocked out 14th seed Aya Ohori of Japan 21-18, 22-20 in 42 minutes to reach the women’s singles third round.
