PETALING JAYA: The Olympic Games hopes are as good as over for mixed doubles pair Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying after losing their second consecutive group match.

In a match that should favour the Malaysians, the 2016 Rio Olympics silver medallists Peng Soon-Liu Ying went down 12-21, 15-21 to Germany's Mark Lamsfuss-Isabel Herttrich in Group D at the Musashino Forest Sports Plaza in Tokyo.
