No medals, all out: Badminton squad flop at Asian Juniors
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's challenge in the individual competition at the Badminton Asia Junior Championships (BAJC) came to an end on Friday after all remaining players were knocked out in the quarter-finals in Solo, Indonesia. High hopes had been placed on girls' doubles pair Dania Sofea Zaidi-Low Zi Yu — silver medallists at the last World Junior Championships — but they fell 21-19, 21-12 to China's Cao Zi Han-Chen Fan Shu Tian in 42 minutes. There was also disappointment in the mixed doubles as both Malaysian pairs crashed out. Loh Ziheng-Noraqilah Maisarah Ramdan lost 21-18, 21-12 to Indonesia's Ikhsan Lintang Pramudya-Rinjani Kwinara Nastine, while Datu Anif Isaac Datu Asrah-Dania Sofea were beaten 21-23, 21-7, 21-13 by China's Chen Jun Ting-Cao Zi Han. Malaysia had also exited in the mixed team quarter-finals earlier in the tournament, meaning they end their campaign without a medal. — BERNAMA
