KUALA LUMPUR: Former badminton star Datuk Lee Chong Wei (pic) knows the struggle of an athlete when things go beyond one’s control.
Last year, he had to end his illustrious badminton career – not because he wanted to but because he was recovering from nose cancer and could not play competitive sport any longer.And now that he is the chef de mission of the Malaysian contingent to the Tokyo Olympic Games, Chong Wei hopes all athletes will remain positive despite concerns over the Covid-19 outbreak.
“Many of our plans are in disarray and tournaments have been postponed because of measures taken to curb the coronavirus but all these are beyond our control. I hope our athletes will continue to prepare for the Olympics. Chong Wei is confident that the International Olympic Committee and Japan would make the right decisions at the right time.
