HAVING the maximum number of qualifiers at the Olympic Games may not necessarily ensure success and this was proven at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, said coach Tan Kim Her.
Hosts Japan had Hiroyuki Endo-Yuta Watanabe and Takeshi Kamura-Keigo Sonoda while Indonesia fielded Marcus Fernaldi-Kevin Sanjaya and Mohammad Ahsan-Hendra Setiawan but none managed to win medals.Taiwan broke the monopoly of the top nations when Lee Yang-Wang Chi-lin won their country’s first gold in badminton while China’s Li Junhui-Liu Yuchen won the silver as Malaysians Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik outplayed Hendra-Ahsan to settle for bronze.
“Sometimes, having two pairs doesn’t guarantee a medal. Countries can even win gold with just one pair,” said Kim Her.“We will try to have two pairs for Paris but we can also do well with just one pair as long as they have the confidence and determination to go for a medal.” “I always tell them that they cannot win all the time but they must maintain their performance level,” said Kim Her.
“The priority is the Paris Olympics while there are three tournaments this year where they must target medals.”
