PETALING JAYA: The partnership of two coaches – Hendrawan and Datuk Tey Seu Bock – worked wonders for Datuk Lee Chong Wei at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games as he went on to win his third silver medal.

His anointed successor Lee Zii Jia could also benefit from the same combination as he bids to win a medal at the Tokyo Olympics next year.

Seu Bock was named as assistant to men’s singles head coach Hendrawan in the recent coaching set-up shake-up. Before the change, he had been the women’s singles head coach since 2018.
