Penang lass bravely soldiers on in spite of four knee ops

PETALING JAYA: Low Wee Wern (pic) has done what no other squash player, for that matter any other Malaysian athlete, had done in their career – make a comeback after four surgeries and still play in four tournaments in as many weeks.

Once touted as the next Nicol David, Penangite Wee Wern followed her idol’s footsteps and reached world No. 5 in 2015 when disaster struck as the dreaded anterior cruciate ligament injury (on her left knee) struck a killer blow.
