Para shuttler Didin not on the edge despite advancing age


PETALING JAYA: Former world para badminton champion Didin Taresoh insists age is just a number as he set sights on a podium finish in what could be his first and final Paralympic Games next year.

Didin, who competes in the SS6 (short stature) category, will be 46 when the postponed Games take place from Aug 24-Sept 5, but has no qualms about his ability to upstage younger rivals who are at least 10 years his junior.
