Lee seeking golden redemption

By Agence France-Presse in Kuala Lumpur | China Daily | Updated: 2016-07-26 07:36

Malaysian badminton superstar Lee Chong Wei is taking a final shot at Olympic gold in Rio, desperate to erase past disappointments and a doping episode that blotted one of the sport's great names.

Malaysia has never won Olympic gold in anything, and the mild-mannered Lee has struggled with the pressure of his nation's hopes, suffering crushing final defeats to China's Lin Dan in Beijing and London.

But Rio finds the 33-year-old back in a familiar position - world No 1, looking strong, and an Olympic favorite - and he has made clear his obsession to bring home gold this time.
