Datuk Lee Chong Wei knows it as he had gone through tough times engaging in lone battles against the legion of the top China players led by nemesis Lin Dan in his heydays and he doesn’t want Lee Zii Jia to endure the same situation at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
This is precisely the reason why Chong Wei wants to help Ng Tze Yong to qualify for the Paris Olympics where Malaysia can launch a two-pronged attack in winning the elusive Olympic gold next year.
“As the RTG badminton team manager, I want to offer guidance to Tze Yong to qualify for the Olympics,” said Chong Wei.World No. 4 Zii Jia is as good as assured for an Olympics spot as he just needs to remain in the top 10 but world No. 25 Tze Yong has to double up the effort if he harbours hopes of joining Zii Jia in Paris. In the singles, a country can have two players if both are in the top 16 bracket.
“I have met Tze Yong and others to find out about the problems and to refer them to TRG and find ways to help them. He has also urged Zii Jia and the doubles pairs who are under the RTG programme to keep working hard and produce consistent results to ensure their world rankings remain high.
