National men’s doubles aces Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik clawed their way back from the brink of defeat to overcome Danes Kim Astrup-Anders Skaarup Rasmussen 16-21, 22-20, 21-19 to clinch bronze - Malaysia’s first medal at the Paris Olympics - today.

Just when the world number three seemed destined for defeat, with Astrup-Rasmussen needing one point to seal victory at 20-16 in the second game, Aaron-Wooi Yik staged a miraculous escape by saving four match points to draw level at 20-20 before surging ahead to win 22-20 and forcing a deciding game.

In Tokyo 2020, Aaron-Wooi Yik defeated former world champions Mohamad Ahsan-Hendra Setiawan of Indonesia to bring home the bronze medal.
