The reaction of BAM coaches Rexy Mainaky and Tan Bin Shen towards national women's singles player Goh Jin Wei in her first match at the Paris Olympic Games has touched the hearts of badminton fans in the country.
Goh Jin Wei secured a straight-set victory, 23-21, 21-11, against South African women's singles player Scholtz Johanita at Port de la Chapelle yesterday.
What is remarkable about this victory is that it is a sweet memory she will never forget, as it was her debut at the world's biggest event. She faced a challenging journey to the Olympics, including having to travel alone without her coach, Nova Armada.
However, she was not alone as BAM promised to take care of her welfare throughout the Paris 2024 Olympics, including providing coaching assistance and expertise from BAM.
Immediately after yesterday's match, Goh Jin Wei's reaction of rushing to the bench of coaches Rexy Mainaky and Tan Bin Shen to shake hands touched the hearts of fans in Malaysia. This is because of the concern shown by the BAM coaching team, who continuously provided words of encouragement and motivation to her in the absence of coach Nova Armada.
Let's hope Goh Jin Wei can bring glory back to Malaysia!
