Pearly-Thinaah to stay with BAM until 2028 Olympics [WATCH]
Women's doubles Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah have ended speculation over their future by committing to the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) until at least the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The world No.3 are expected to sign a new contract before flying to Tokyo for the Japan Open on July 15-20.
Their decision brings much-needed relief to fans and officials alike, ending months of uncertainty after their previous deal expired in December.
All negotiations with BAM have now been wrapped up, with the new agreement ensuring Pearly-Thinaah remain the nation's key contenders in the hunt for a historic first Olympic gold.
BAM president Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz had earlier vowed to resolve the matter before the pair's trip to Japan, and he has stayed true to his word.
Following the Japan Open, the pair will head to the China Open (July 22-27), before preparing for the World Championships in Paris on Aug 25-31.
Their recent run of form has been nothing short of outstanding: champions at the Thailand Open, runners-up at the Indonesia Open, semi-finalists at the Malaysia Masters, and quarter-finalists in Singapore.

Too much too young?: Swimming's dilemma over 12-year-old schoolgirl
SINGAPORE: Swimming is a sport well used to talented teenagers, but Yu Zidi's participation aged 12 at the world championships has sparked debate about how young is too young. The prodigious Chinese schoolgirl is not just making up the numbers at the event in Singapore this week. Yu qualified for Monday's final of the 200m individual medley and came fourth, missing out on a remarkable medal by just 0.06sec in what is not considered her strongest event. The race was won by Canada's Summer McIntosh – she competed at the Tokyo Olympics as a 14-year-old and last summer in Paris won three golds at age 17. Yu was at it again on Wednesday in Singapore, racing alongside comparative veteran McIntosh to reach the finals of the 200m butterfly. Yu, who turns 13 in October, will also race in the 400m medley later this week. The Chinese prodigy, who discovered swimming aged six as a way to cool off in China's roasting summers, has drawn historical comparisons to Inge Sorensen. At 12, the Dane was the youngest-ever winner of an Olympic swimming medal after her bronze at the Berlin Games of 1936. More recently, there was Bahrain's Alzain Tareq, who was 10 when she competed at the swimming world championships in Kazan, Russia, in 2015. Unlike Yu, however, she never came close to a medal. Asked this week if she was a "genius", Yu replied: "No, not really. It's all the result of hard training." While Yu's performances have been impressive and could well yield a medal, not everyone thinks she should be competing in Singapore. Some in the sport have raised questions about the impact on Yu mentally and physically of high-level training and competing at an age when she is still developing as a person. Under current World Aquatics rules, the minimum age is 14 but younger swimmers can compete at the championships if – like Yu – they are fast enough. Christian Hansmann, sports director of German swimming, called her participation in Singapore "questionable." "Putting a girl of 12 in front of a world championship crowd of 5,000 spectators, with the high pressure from the media and the coaches, is far too early in my opinion," said Hansmann, who has children of a similar age. French swimmer Lilou Ressencourt admitted it "pisses me off to be beaten by a girl 10 years younger than me" and said she was surprised by how fast Yu is at such a young age. She too fears for Yu's physical and mental well-being. "I'm 22 and handling world championships, even French championships, can be difficult," Ressencourt told AFP. "I tell myself that at 12, you have a heavy responsibility... it's not normal at 12 to have that kind of pressure." Yu's presence in Singapore could force a rethink of the rules at World Aquatics, the sport's governing body. Executive director Brent Nowicki admitted they had been surprised that someone as young as Yu had been fast enough to qualify. Nowicki said World Aquatics "feel quite good about where we are with our safeguarding approach in our sport", but admitted that Yu could force a re-evaluation of its rules. "She's great. I mean, there's a big future there for her. Hopefully there could be good things that could happen out of this, and it could be great," he said. But he added: "Obviously we have to make sure that that's what it is, right? We don't want to tip that balance and go the other way, and we have to be careful about that." Many other sports have wrestled with the same age issue. In 2022, ice skating's governing body voted to raise the minimum age for senior competition from 15 to 17, months after an Olympics drug scandal involving Russian teenager Kamila Valieva.

National athletes not encouraged to go professional, says Yeoh
KUALA LUMPUR: National athletes are not encouraged to leave sporting bodies and go professional, says the Youth and Sports Ministry. Its minister Hannah Yeoh said national athletes have ample allocations through the Podium programme, with additional infrastructure if listed under the Road to Gold programme. 'For private sponsorships however, not all professional athletes can find funds for subsequent years especially if their ranking drops,' she said during question time in the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (July 31). 'In general, we do not encourage (going professional) especially for mainstream sports,' she added. Citing badminton as an example, she said it could lead to professionals having a lack of sparring partners. 'They may not be able to train with peers or those with the same skill levels. 'Under the Badminton Association of Malaysia and the Road to Gold programme, we provide sparring partners to ensure they can continue being competitive with athletes on their level,' she said, adding that national sporting bodies also utilise experienced coaches. Yeoh, however, acknowledged that it is difficult to give equal allocation and support to all sports. 'We need to look at how popular the sport is to the rakyat,' she said, noting how these were among the challenges faced on a tight budget. She was responding to a supplementary question by Nurul Amin Hamid (PN-Padang Terap) who asked if the ministry had any guidelines or monitoring systems to ensure private entities do not neglect national athletes who choose to compete as a professional. Among notable sporting stars who chose to leave national sporting bodies was national singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia. In 2022, Lee announced that he would be pursuing a professional career, leaving the Badminton Association of Malaysia.

She's 12 and nearly won a world medal, now swimming's age rules under review
SINGAPORE, July 31 — Swimming's governing body said Wednesday it will 'have a look' at its entry rules after Yu Zidi's participation at the world championships at the age of 12. The Chinese schoolgirl came within 0.06 seconds of winning a medal on Monday in Singapore and could yet reach the podium, with two of her more favoured events to come. American silver medallist Alex Walsh said Yu was 'phenomenally talented at such a young age'. But there have also been questions raised about the impact on Yu mentally and physically of high-level training and competing. Under World Aquatics rules, the minimum age is 14 but younger swimmers can compete if — like Yu — they meet certain qualifying standards. Brent Nowicki, its executive director, admitted they had been surprised that someone as young as Yu had been fast enough to make the world championships. 'Our 'A' standards are so thin, they're so tight that I don't think I actually, in my mind, thought that it was a potential that a 12-year-old earned such a time,' he told reporters in Singapore. 'I feel quite good about where we are with our safeguarding approach in our sport.' But Nowicki admitted that Yu could force a re-evaluation. 'She's great. I mean, there's a big future there for her. Hopefully there could be good things that could happen out of this, and it could be great,' he said. But he added: 'Obviously we have to make sure that that's what it is, right? We don't want to tip that balance and go the other way, and we have to be careful about that.' 'We'll have a look and see whether we need to go steps further or whether we're comfortable with where we are.' — AFP
