Winning makes the world go round for Wee Kiong, even at his age


Steady progress: Tan Wee Kiong (front) and Nur Mohd Azriyn Ayub beat Indonesia’s Shohibul Fikri-Daniel Marthin en-route to reaching the semi-finals of the Macau Open last month.

PETALING JAYA: Men’s doubles shuttler Tan Wee Kiong is 35 but he has not lost his desire to win.

Wee Kiong, who captured silver in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics with former partner Goh V Shem, might not be as quick as he was during his peak years but has been performing reasonably well with Nur Mohd Azriyn Ayub this year.
