Chong Wei tipped to face Lin Dan at Olympics

Jul 27, 2016

Datuk Lee Chong Wei is tipped to face Lin Dan at the Rio Olympics next month.

This after the Malaysian world number one was drawn in Group A with Singapore's Derek Wong and a player from Surinam, and will go straight into the quarterfinals if he tops the group.

However, barring any upsets, Chong Wei is expected to battle Lin Dan in semifinals and possibly reigning world champion Chen Long in the final for the gold medal.
