KUALA LUMPUR: Former badminton great Foo Kok Keong has applauded Lee Chong Wei (AFP pic, below) for taking a break after winning three back-to-back Open titles in one month.

Kok Keong believes that the 33-year-old Chong Wei, who won the French Open, China Open and Hong Kong Open recently, will be able to do well at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro next year if he continues to choose his tournaments wisely.
