Finding comfort in Olympic solidarity

AT the time of writing, Malaysia has won two bronze medals at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik repeated their feat with a nerve-racking save of four match points in their second set against their Danish opponents, while Lee Zii Jia won his first Olympic medal by defeating Lakshya Sen of India.

We are of course proud of everyone in our badminton squad, and now we will be cheering on our other athletes in the remaining days of the games, including Pocket Rocketman Azizulhasni Awang. He previously won a bronze medal in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and a silver medal in Tokyo in 2020, so the logical thing for him to do is to realise our nation’s first gold medal this time.
