Jing Yi was leading the Group K tie 17-15 when she grimaced in pain upon landing after hitting a shot and asked for medical attention. She returned to fight on but two-time world junior champion Akane took advantage of Jing Yi's hampered movement to win the first game 21-18. "I am so disappointed as I came to Rio determined to give my best," said Jing Yi as tears flowed. I came to Rio with the target of giving one hundred percent but luck was not on my side," added Jing Yi, 25. Defeat meant Jing Yi's campaign is over and the shuttler said she may not feature in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
