The world No. 13 will take on El Salvador's 50th-ranked Uriel Canjura in his next group game.
PARIS – Sporting a new perm, Singapore’s top badminton player Loh Kean Yew enjoyed a relatively straightforward start to his Paris 2024 Olympics Group M campaign with a 21-13, 21-10 win over Czech Republic’s Jan Louda on July 28.
But once his engines were greased, and he started to find his smashing range, it was business as usual as Loh reeled off 11 straight points to take the first game. The 27-year-old will play El Salvador’s 50th-ranked Uriel Canjura on July 31 and a win will seal his first appearance in the Olympics knock-out round, where he is likely to face China’s world No. 6 Li Shifeng in the round of 16.
