PETALING JAYA: With the Tokyo Olympics in August looming as the biggest sporting mission for Malaysian athletes, this will be a year of reckoning for singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia and doubles pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik.

There can be no more excuses about the SEA Games gold medal-winning trio needing more time and still being on a learning curve. They have to start delivering the goods, with Lee Chong Wei no longer around to carry the flag.Chong Wei, the only Malaysian athlete to win three Olympic silver medals, retired last year, and the Malaysian badminton scene needs a new hero to take up the mantle.
