PETALING JAYA: Former Olympians Lee Wan Wah and Tan Boon Heong have saluted national men’s pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik for doing what they had failed to do – win in playoffs for bronze at the Olympics.

Aaron-Wooi Yik put up a valiant fight to beat world champions Mohamad Ahsan-Hendra Setiawan 17-21, 21-17, 21-14 for the country’s first medal at the Games on Saturday.

Wan Wah and Boon Heong know the pain of missing out on the bronze after losing with their respective partners Choong Tan Fook and Koo Kien Keat at the 2000 Sydney and the 2012 London editions. Like Aaron-Wooi Yik, Wan Wah-Tan Fook enjoyed a sensational debut in Sydney 2000 by reaching the semi-finals before losing to silver medallists Lee Dong-soo-Yoo Yong-sung of South Korea.

“I’m glad that the boys got it right,” said Wan Wah, who is now a member of Japan’s Team B coaching set-up.
