BAM focuses to prepare Lee Chong Wei to win Men’s Singles title at Olympic Games
In a bid to win the country’s first ever gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games, the Badminton Association of Malaysia is focusing to provide every possible facility to World Number One, Lee Chong Wei, in his preparations for the mega event.
Malaysia has never won even a single gold medal in any of the five categories of badminton. In the last edition of Olympic Games, which was held in Beijing, China, in 2008, Chong Wei reached in the final but could not convert it into a victory as he lost to local hero, Lin Dan.
Now, there is no other Malaysian shuttler who can live up to the expectations but Chong Wei, who has been beating the world for the last three years and never went down from his top position even for a single month.
BAM intends to provide every facility to Chong Wei for making him well prepared because it will be his last chance to win a medal at 2012 Olympic Games, which will kick off from the last week of July, in London, England.
BAM president, Nadzmi Mohd Salleh said that the preparation of Chong Wei will be their top priority. He also said that the next five months will be the preparation period of the shuttler and they will support him in every possible way.
He said, "The Olympics is our main focus and target because this is BAM's best opportunity to win a gold medal. We want to ensure that Chong Wei's preparations will get top priority. The preparations will go on for five or six months."
While talking about Chong Wei’s performance in the proceeding even of Malaysia Open, BAM patron, Rosmah Mansor said the support of whole country is with him. She said, "I hope all Malaysians will support Chong Wei in his bid to win the Malaysia Open title for the eighth time."
The 29-year-old Chong Wei is far ahead from the back-up shuttlers and has the skill to end Malaysia’s title draught in Olympics. This is the reason why BAM wants to facilitate the World Number One in his preparation to earn glory by winning the first Olympic gold medal for the country.
