Shocking Arm Injury Revealed as Toh Returns to Training

Malaysian mixed doubles player Toh Ee Wei has returned to training today after sustaining a severe injury that required 16 stitches on her left arm, following an accident at the gym.

On September 24th, Toh was training at the Badminton Association of Malaysia Academy (ABM) gym when she slipped, causing glass to shatter and injure her arm, which required immediate medical attention and stitches.

Fortunately, the injury was on her left arm and not her right, which she uses to hold the racket.

Due to this incident, Toh and her partner Chen Tang Jie were forced to withdraw from the Arctic Open (October 8–13) and the Denmark Open (October 15–20). The pair had recently won the mixed doubles title at the Korea Open last month.

After a two-week rest, Toh has resumed intensive training at ABM. Her left arm, particularly near the elbow, shows a clearly visible scar, revealing the severity of the injury, though it has now healed.

In an interview, Toh stated, “This is our first time missing two consecutive tournaments, but it’s a new experience for us. We must face it, and we hope to perform better in future events.”

When asked about her return to competition, Toh said, “Regarding upcoming tournaments, we’re focusing on training for now, observing our condition, and then evaluating which competitions we’ll participate in next.”
