TOKYO, July 29 — It was a day of mixed fortunes for the Malaysian contingent, especially the badminton camp, on Day Seven of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics today.

This is the Malaysians’ first win over the Indonesians in eight meetings since their first encounter at the 2018 Malaysia Open. The two pairs last met in the 2020 All England, with Aaron-Wooi Yik losing 17-21,19-21. Zii Jia, who was in sublime form in the first game, couldn’t maintain his rhythm and fell 21-18, 19-21, 5-21 to 2016 Rio Olympics gold medallist Chen Long of China.

Khairulnizam is now 27th out of 35 sailors with 153 net points, with Australian Matt Wearn leading the charge with 29 net points after eight races. The 27-year-old is tied with Chinese Taipei’s Pan Cheng-tsung after both carded identical three-over 74s.
