Malaysian shuttlers handed tough draw in Asian Games


JAKARTA: Malaysian shuttlers will have to punch above their weight to avoid returning empty-handed from the Asian Games for the first time in 32 years after being handed an intimidating draw in the individual events on Thursday (Aug 23).

Malaysia are aiming for two podium places in the men's doubles and the mixed doubles, but medal hopefuls Goh V Shem-Tan Wee Kiong, Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying and Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie have tricky paths en route to the semi-finals.
