PETALING JAYA: Two time world junior championships silver medallist Low Zi Yu has hinted that she is set to join her national teammates at the Academy Badminton Malaysia (ABM) on a full time basis next year. Zi Yu and Nor Dania Sofea also reached the final at the previous edition, only to lose to Ririna Hiramoto-Aya Tamaki in China. For next year, I hope to become world junior champion because Malaysia has never had a world junior champion in girls doubles, and I want to help Malaysia achieve that,” said Zi Yu. Zi Yu believes that a competitive environment and greater exposure are crucial for her to realise her ambitions. “In Johor, I train in Segamat and the training environment there is not the same as at BAM.
