Teenage star Jin Wei advances to next round of Polish Open

Teenage badminton sensation Goh Jin Wei has advanced from the second round of Polish International Challenge, currently held in Bierun, Poland.

In the first qualifying round, Jin Wei eliminated Polish Daniela Bielinska 21-7 21-4, before cruising to another victory with a 21-8 21-10 win over Clara Nistad of Sweden.

The 15 year-old is playing in Poland after a fresh outing in Belgium, winning her first international title at the Belgian International Challenge where she claimed a shock win in the final over 2014 Commonwealth Games silver medallist Kirsty Gilmour.

Malaysia do have other participants in the competition, including men singles shuttlers Iskandar Zulkarnain Zainuddin and Goh Soon Huat.
