Work cut out: Goh Soon Huat and Shevon Lai Jemie are currently 10th in the Race to Tokyo rankings and need to crack the top eight by the April 30 qualification deadline if they are to make their Olympic debut.
PETALING JAYA: National mixed doubles pair Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie blew a gilt-edged chance of boosting their Olympic qualification when they failed to produce the expected results at the Spain Open in Barcelona.
The world No. 9 were the top seeds in the absence of many high-ranked pairs, but their campaign came to a disappointing end on Friday when they failed to live up to their billing and were beaten 18-21, 18-21 in the quarter-finals by Kim Sa-rang-Kim Ha-na of South Korea.
