Wang Shixian eyes world and Olympic medals

Wang Shixian continued her winning run when she captured the PROTON Malaysia Open Superseries, the opening event of the 2011 OSIM BWF World Superseries and immediately declared she hopes to win medals at the World Championships later this year as well as an Olympic medal in 2012

The 21-year-old from Jiangsu Province, who captured the Korea and Swiss Open titles last year and started the new year with a bang by capturing the VICTOR BWF Super Series Finals crown in Chinese Taipei earlier this year, said winning those medals will be the highlights of her career.

“With the World championship and then the London Olympics coming up, it will be an interesting contest. Of course I hope to be among the medallists,” said Wang Shixian, who took home US$30,000 for winning in Kuala Lumpur.

Wang Shixian added it was a tough contest against her compatriot, as it is never easy to play against a team mate.

“Yihan is a tough player to compete against. She is ranked No 1 in China and you can tell she is indeed a good player. I am happy that I have beaten her to the title but it was not easy,” added the reigning Asian Games champion.

“It’s always a tough contest whenever we meet in the crucial stages of a tournament. The gap between all of us is very tight. Anybody can be beaten.”

Wang Shixian is off to the US$1.2 million Korean Open next and said Wang Yihan is still the opponent to beat, not forgetting Wang Xin, the No 1 seed in the Malaysian Open who was beaten by Wang Yihan in the semi-finals.
