Passion for sports intact: Ang Li Peng will be making her Olympic debut in Paris, in a new role as someone who safeguards both the athletes’ and officials’ welfare.
PETALING JAYA: When badminton gold medallist Ang Li Peng hung up her racquet right before the 2004 Athens Olympics, she left one goal still unfulfilled – qualifying for and competing in the world’s ultimate sporting stage.
Deciding to leave the badminton court at the peak of her career after winning the 2002 Commonwealth Games women’s doubles gold medal with Lim Pek Siah in Manchester, Li Peng moved to the legal court where she pursued a career in law.
