It looks like the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) are ready to forgo Thomas Cup qualifi cation for Olympic glory. A member of the national body’s High Performance Team (HPT), Ng Chin Chai (pic), has made it clear that they will not kick up a big fuss if the team fail to qualify for the Finals because “the Olympic gold medal is more important”. Does that mean it’s all right for the shuttlers to just go through the motions at the Thomas Cup qualifi ers in Macau from Feb 13-19? What kind of attitude is that, BAM?
PETALING JAYA: The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) have as good as given up hope on the national team qualifying for the Thomas Cup Finals.
