In a groundbreaking achievement, shuttlers Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah have become the first Malaysian women’s doubles pair to reach the semi-finals of the Olympics badminton. The world No. 12 pair defeated South Korea’s world No. 10 Kim So Yeong and Kong Hee Yong in a commanding performance, winning 21-12, 21-13 in just 41 minutes.

In a pulsating quarter-final match, Pearly and Thinaah made history by becoming the first Malaysian women’s doubles pair to reach the Olympic badminton semi-finals. The Malaysians in the crowd at the Porte De La Chapelle Arena erupted in celebration as the pair overcame the 2021 Tokyo Olympics bronze medallists in straight games. This victory marked only their second encounter with the South Korean duo, having previously lost to them in the 2021 World Tour Finals.

Pearly and Thinaah will now face the world No. 1 pair, China’s Chen Qing Chen and Jia Yi Fan, in the semi-finals. The Chinese duo secured their spot in the semis by defeating the world No. 21 Bulgarian sisters Gabriela and Stefani Stoeva in straight games, 21-15, 21-8. The Malaysians had faced Chen and Jia in the opening group stage match, where they narrowly lost 17-21, 20-22.
