KUNSHAN (China): Lee Chong Wei has resolved to go all out for the Olympic gold after missing out on his final chance to lift the Thomas Cup trophy.

Malaysia were beaten 2-3 by Denmark in the semi-finals last Friday, dashing his dream of holding aloft the trophy. But the 33-year-old can hold his head up high as he was the only player in the team to win all his matches here.
