Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun eye stronger run at World Badminton Championships
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 — National men's doubles player, Man Wei Chong admitted that he and his partner Tee Kai Wun are in better physical condition to participate in this year's World Badminton Championships which will be held in Paris, France from August 25-31. He said that compared to the inaugural edition he participated in in 2023, he feels they are now more prepared and hope to do better by aiming to bring home a medal for Malaysia. 'If you compare the last two years, this year's performance has improved a bit. Although not much, it is better than the last two years. 'So hopefully we can do our best than before,' he told reporters after the national badminton team's training session at the Badminton Academy Malaysia (ABM) today. Meanwhile, Wei Chong, when asked about his draw with Kai Wun in the tournament, admitted that being placed as the seeded pair gave them a slight advantage when they would not be playing in the first round. However, he said that did not mean they could be complacent given that there were several great names they had to fight if they wanted to go further. 'I think our first round was good because we started in the round of 64 and after that we might face the French pair, Toma Junior Popov-Christo Popov. They are also quite strong and it is not certain that they can win again, playing at home. So we really hope to be able to perform later,' he said. For the record in the 2023 edition, Wei Chong-Kai Wun ended the competition in the third round after losing to the Chinese pair, Liang Wei Keng-Wang Chang 21-16, 14-21, 21-17. — Bernama

Pearly-Thinaah's BAM commitment inspires junior badminton players
KUALA LUMPUR: The crucial decision by the country's top women's doubles pair Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah to reaffirm their commitment with the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) until the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games is being hailed as an exemplary model for the upcoming generation. According to national women's doubles head coach Rosman Razak, Pearly-Thinaah's presence is not only crucial for performance on court but also serves as a source of inspiration for younger players to emulate their discipline, fighting spirit and dedication. 'Pearly-Thinaah are a good example for the juniors. Not just in badminton, but about commitment. Being a top player is not easy. 'To make sure that the juniors have a role model to visualise their future, they need to see it in their mind's eye, play and train together and that will definitely help the juniors to progress,' Rosman said of his top pair at the Badminton Academy Malaysia (ABM) in Bukit Kiara here today. BAM yesterday announced that Pearly-Thinaah would remain under the umbrella of the parent body after signing a new contract together until the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. It is understood that their new contract was signed at 6.31 pm yesterday, but the details were not disclosed. Earlier, media reports said that the pair have yet to renew their contract with BAM although it expired in December last year, sparking speculation about their future with the national team. Pearly-Thinaah are scheduled to compete in the Japan Open (July 15-20), followed by the China Open (July 22-27) before the World Championships in Paris (Aug 25-31). - Bernama
