Gymnast Rachel bounces back strongly from serious injury


KUALA LUMPUR: Career-threatening injuries can weaken the resolve of some athletes. But national artistic gymnast Rachel Yeoh Li Wen is made of sterner stuff.

The resilient Rachel still trained hard after surgeries on both her knees and she made a sensational comeback by winning the girls’ balance beam gold at the recent Malaysia Games (Sukma) in Ipoh, Perak. That success has given her the confidence to dream big again.
