Former world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei emphasizes the importance of mental toughness for Malaysian athletes competing in the Paris Olympics. With less than 50 days until the event, Chong Wei advises shuttlers to focus on mental preparation rather than learning new tricks or tactics. Drawing from personal experience, he explains that the Olympics are unique, requiring athletes to be mentally prepared for the challenges they’ll face.
Malaysia’s Olympic challenge this year relies heavily on top athletes like Lee Zii Jia, Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik, Goh Jin Wei, Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah, and Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei. As the nation still seeks its first gold medal, Chong Wei’s message is clear: mental toughness is the key to achieving Olympic success.
