men’s doubles event can be considered a ‘lucky charm’ for Malaysia, having opened the country’s Olympics medal account when siblings Datuk Razif Sidek-Datuk Seri Jalani Sidek won bronze as badminton was contested for the first time at the Barcelona 1992 edition.
Gold has eluded Malaysia since the country’s inaugural participation in the Melbourne 1956 Olympics, and Aaron-Wooi Yik will have to deal with the added pressure of being a gold medal prospect this time around. “We have to understand that all players in men’s doubles also have good chances, so we just want to do our best for this Olympics. We don’t want to carry a big burden, just enjoy the Olympics,” he said when met recently.
Their main challengers include world number one and Hangzhou Asian Games champions Liang Wei Keng-Wang Chang of China, who have beaten Aaron-Wooi Yik in six of their eight meetings. The China pair also won two Super 1000 tour titles this year - the Malaysia Open and Indonesia Open.
