KUALA LUMPUR: For a young player, singles shuttler Goh Jin Wei has handled fame and fall like a seasoned campaigner.

And her positive attitude has earned praises from the Badminton Association of Malaysia coaching director Wong Choong Hann.

The 2017 Kuala Lumpur SEA Games champion was ranked a career-high No. 25 before a stomach ailment halted her steady rise to the top last year. Before that, she had done well to reach the semi-finals of the Malaysian Masters and German Open by upsetting a few big names.The two-time world junior champion had to undergo colectomy procedure and it ruled her out of the sport for seven months.

“At a young age, she had to deal with an overwhelming attention that came with fame. In her teens, she was already beating higher ranked players. Then, she started to beat world-class opponents, ” said Choong Hann.“It’s not easy to rise from a fall but she has done considerably well at a young age. She had to make big decisions like whether to go for surgery or not and that’s not an easy call to make. Then, there is the recovery part and mental preparation.
