This has also been the duo’s best performance so far, where they were the first Malaysian women’s doubles to reach the semi-finals at the Olympics after trouncing bronze medallists Kim So-yeong-Kong Hee-yong 21-12, 21-13 in the quarter-finals.
Pearly-Thinaah’s journey at the Olympics is a testament to their resilience and dedication. While the bronze eluded them this time, their future in badminton remains bright.
