Aaron-Wooi Yik beat Astrup-Rasmussen to take bronze


MALAYSIA’S men’s double pair Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik were staring at defeat. After losing the first game, they were down 16-20 in the second.

It was a hopeless situation – but not if you are Aaron-Wook Yik. They staged one of the greatest fightbacks ever to win the bronze again in the Paris Olympics – and what a nail-biting comeback it was.
