PETALING JAYA: Doubles shuttler Aaron Chia has described his bronze medal feat with Soh Wooi Yik as their greatest comeback win in their career.

Aaron-Wooi Yik were on the verge of defeat at 16-20 in the second game but pulled off a spectacular comeback by saving four match points to eventually beat an equally fired-up Kim Astrup-Anders Skaarup Rasmussen of Denmark 16-21, 22-20, 21-19 in a 69-minute third-place match in the Olympic Games at the Adidas Arena in Port de la Chapelle on Sunday (August 4).
