Kuala Lumpur: Malaysian women’s singles shuttlers Soniia Cheah and S. Kisona may have lost to their opponents at the opening round of Yonex Thailand Open Badminton Tournament at the Impact Arena in Bangkok on Wednesday, but they both believe they have gained invaluable experience that will help them become better players.
According to Cheah, who is the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games mixed team silver medallist, her 15-21 and 12-21 defeat to the seventh seed, An Se Young of South Korea, served as the best lesson to improve her performance for the Toyota Thailand Open which is scheduled to commence from Jan 19 to 24 at the same venue.
Sara Hall became the second fastest American woman to run a marathon in taking the female title in 2:20:32 in the Marathon Project race in Chandler, Arizona. The Rio 2016 Olympics 10,000-metres runner Wodak placed fourth in only her second marathon and the first she has contested since 2013, lopping nearly nine minutes off her previous time. “I was nervous and anxious because I haven’t raced a marathon in seven years and it was unfamiliar and uncharted territory for me. I wondered if my body could handle it,” said Wodak, who has begun a 14-day quarantine after crossing the border back into B.C.
