IPOH: Sporting talent runs in rising shuttler Low Zi Yu’s blood.

Zi Yu made her presence felt when she became the youngest finalist in the World Junior Championships after winning silver with Dania Sofea Zaidi last October.

The Johor lass achieved the feat when she was just 14 years and 53 days old. Previously, Thailand’s Ratchanok Intanon was the youngest at 14 years and 269 days old when she reached the 2009 girls’ singles final in Alor Star.
