[Saba Sports News] The Malaysian national badminton team’s men’s doubles pair, Aaron Chia Teng Fong and Soh Wooi Yik, who have consistently won medals in all competitions, have set their sights on winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics. If they succeed, they will become the greatest players in the history of Malaysian badminton to hold both the world championship and Olympic gold medal titles. In an interview, both players expressed their determination to pursue the goal of winning gold medals at the Paris Olympics. The pair made history for Malaysian badminton in 2022 by winning the men’s doubles championship at the Tokyo World Badminton Championships. They became the first players from the Malaysian badminton team to win the world championship, fulfilling a mission that their predecessor Lee Chong Wei had failed to achieve. Now, they present themselves with a “leaner and more powerful” image, hoping to create yet another unprecedented historical record for the Malaysian badminton team. Regarding this, 27-year-old Aaron Chia Teng Fong mentioned that he will not put too much pressure on himself. The most important thing is to enjoy every game and face each one with a never-give-up attitude. He also admitted that he has lost some weight, paid attention to his diet, and gained muscle, although he hasn’t deliberately checked how many kilograms he has lost. With an improved physique, Aaron Chia Teng Fong hopes it will help him fulfill his Olympic dream.
