After losing the first game and trailing 15-19 in the second, Li displayed her resilience and emerged victorious with a remarkable 17-21 21-19 21-12 win. As the reigning Olympic champion, Li’s triumph showcases her determination and skill.
With a morale-boosting win under her belt and the absence of her compatriot Wang Shixian, Li is eager to make further progress in the tournament. However, she will face tough competition from Wang Yihan, Sung Ji Hyun, Bae Yeon Ju, Ratchanok Intanon, Tai Tzu Ying, and PV Sindhu, all of whom have also advanced to the quarter-finals.
