Malaysian badminton heroes Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik, along with singles player Lee Zii Jia, have secured bronze medals at the Olympics. To celebrate their remarkable achievements, each athlete will be rewarded with a Chery Tiggo 7 Pro worth RM123,800.
Last June, Chery Malaysia announced that they will give a free car to our medalist winner where the gold medalists will be rewarded with a Chery Tiggo 8 Pro, while the silver medalists will receive an all-electric Omoda E5. Bronze medalists on the other hand will be able to drive home a Chery Tiggo 7 Pro.
The duo match was a thrilling rollercoaster of emotions. The Danish pair, Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup dominated the first set and held a commanding lead in the second. With a game point in their favor, it seemed the match was slipping away from Chia and Soh. However, in a stunning comeback, the Malaysian duo defied the odds, winning six consecutive points to clinch the second set and force a deciding rubber game. The final set was a closely contested battle that ultimately ended in victory for Chia and Soh, marking Malaysia’s first bronze at the games.
Malaysian badminton star Lee Zii Jia clinched the bronze medal in men’s singles at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Overcoming a challenging first set, he staged a remarkable comeback against India’s Lakshya Sen to secure victory. This win marks Lee Zii Jia’s first Olympic medal and Malaysia’s second bronze at the games.
