July 17, 1997 (NEW SHUTTLENWS) - Mia Audina, Indonesia's teenaged badminton star who captured the Olympic women's singles silver medal last year, was defeated today by fellow Indonesian teenager Ellen Engelina at the Indonesian Open badminton championships now underway in Solo, Central Java. Engelina dropped the first game of the third round match to the highly rated Audina 4-11 but had the steadier play in the second and third games. While Audina committed error after error, Engelina managed to keep her shots in play. She took the second and third sets 11-5 and 11-5 to oust the Olympic silver medalist.

Fung Permadi, the former Indonesian national team member who now plays for Taipei, was also upset today. Permadi who had won the World Grand Prix Finals late last year was eliminated in the second round by Indonesian George Rimarcdi 2-15, 12-15, 15-1.

Indra Wijaya of Indonesia was also an upset victim. Wijaya lost to the highly improved Malaysian player Yong Hock Kin 15-7 and 15-7 in a third-round match.
