Unfortunately, Malaysia’s badminton women’s doubles dynamic duo, Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan (World ranking: 13), did not make it to the finals of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The duo was sadly defeated by China’s Chen Qing Chen and Jia Yi Fan (World ranking: 1) after giving their all in a nerve-racking match.
Malaysia managed to score 21-18 in the second round but ultimately lost to China in the first round (12-21) and in the third round (15-21).
Despite the loss, Pearly and Thinaah should be commended for their determined battle and have made Malaysia proud either way.
Do stay tuned for more updates.
