  "summary": "Malaysia's women's doubles shuttlers Pearly Tan-M Thinaah secured a bronze medal at the Asian Games after a grueling 85-minute semi-final match against China's world No 1 pair Liu Sheng Shu-Tan Ning. This victory marks the end of Malaysia's 12-year wait for a women's doubles medal, following Vivian Hoo-Woon Khe Wei's bronze win in Incheon, South Korea in 2014. Despite starting strong and winning the first game, Pearly-Thinaah ultimately lost 21-16, 20-22, 21-12 to the formidable Chinese duo at the Ichinomiya City Municipal Gymnasium in Aichi, Japan.",
