Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games, 10/31-11/5

Chen Min-Hsin is a more complete player than Miku as one would expect as she is 17 yrs old. Miku can't go bh to bh with Chen, and there's an obvious power deficit between the two. Taiwan has a good one in Chen.

For some reason, perhaps due to the pandemic, I get the hunch that this could become the lost generation.

It's hilarious the WS gold and silver medalists finished 2nd in group and 3 of the 1st in group lost to 3 of the 2nd in group to suffer a 1st round exit in KO.
