CHINESE women's world No. 1 Wang Yihan will skip next month's Super Series Masters finals in Malaysia and represent her country in the East Asian Games instead.
Wang was the top qualifier for the prestigious season-ending event with five Super Series victories this year but would participate in the East Asian Games in Hong Kong as the dates overlapped, The Star online said. Wang would be replaced by compatriot and world champion Lu Lan after Chinese world No. 2 Wang Lin also withdrew from the Masters event. Last year, China withdrew all its players from the inaugural event citing a hectic calendar and risk of aggravating injuries.
