Tien Minh set to join Chong Wei and Lin Dan in four-time Olympian club


PETALING JAYA: While his contemporaries Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan have missed out on a fifth Olympic Games appearance, Vietnamese veteran Nguyen Tien Minh (pic) looks all set to match the duo’s feat at 38!

Tien Minh, a former world No. 5 and the 2013 World Championships bronze medallist, should have little trouble making the top 38-cut as he’s sitting comfortably at 28th in the Race to Tokyo standings.
