Lee Chong Wei determined to become first World Champion of Malaysia – Badminton News
Malaysia’s Lee Chong Wei, who has been working really hard to earn glory for his country in all major tournaments since 2007, is determined to become the first World Champion from Malaysia by winning the upcoming Badminton World Championships, which will be played in August.
The World Number One Malaysian has been the constant source of motivation for youngsters all over the world, as he remained at the top for many years. However, he remained unlucky when it comes to win the title at the World Championships.
This time, Chong Wei’s batch fellows, including Indonesia’s Taufik Hidayat and Denmark’s Peter Hoeg Gade, will not be around as both of them announced their retirement from professional circuit lately. China’s two times Olympic Champion, Lin Dan, also stayed away from the arena for almost 6 months.
It will be an advantage for Chong Wei to dominate all other shuttlers in the mega event. Although Lin will be his main rival again but he has missed many tournaments and critics say that he will not be at his best in World Championships.
Chong Wei is determined to give his level best in the championship. He also knows the expectations of his fans and wants to live up to their expectations.
He said, “I know the nation’s expectations are sky high on me to deliver at the world meet. I want to do well too. I have done well in the Super Series by winning many titles but have been unlucky when it comes to the world championships.”
Malaysian shuttler further added, “I have about six weeks to prepare for the world meet. I cannot assure that the world title will be mine but I am sure I will train harder and make sure that my preparation is the best ever.”
While talking about the Lin’s absence, Chong Wei said that he does not know about the game plan and form of Chinese shuttler. However, he knows that Lin has the ability to beat any player in the world no matter he stayed away from the court for a while.
Chong Wei does not want to think about Lin and his only concern is to stay motivated. He is determined to work hard in training sessions to win the missing title from his legacy.
