PETALING JAYA: Soniia Cheah has struggled for more than eight years just to play in the Olympics – and when the time finally came, she did not disappoint. She won the next seven points and put herself back in contention before Ratchanok came charging back to win the second and eventually the match. Soniia had mixed response after giving a worthy performance against the world No. I don’t think that I’d have any regrets,” said Soniia, who hurt her ankle in the third game. Independent shuttler Soniia credited national men’s singles head coach Hendrawan for his guidance and also her team from her club Sport Affairs.
