We all know that Lee Chong Wei is past his prime and we might see him in one or more big tournaments in the future so we are expecting to see youngsters make their name for their own and this is Lee Chong Wei’s goal to not leave the badminton scene without a new representative from his country.


Chong Wei has given Datuk Misbun Sidek’s training program the thumbs up. Datuk has been on the ground and sparring with the players since he reported for duty.

Lee Chong Wei expected that the training will be serious and all out as he have imagined the training is tough, they started at 6:30am and they did not stop until 11am which is known for the amazing coach.

“The training is intense. Every day, there are one or two players down with cramps.

“I’ve warned them earlier of what to expect. We must be ready physically and mentally to face the long and grueling training.

“It has worked for me and I hope the youngsters will persevere. I too have to push myself to keep pace but I’m enjoying it.”

This is his preparation for the World Championship in Glasgow from Aug 21-27 Chon Wei said that he doesn’t have any tournaments until the world meet so it’s all about the perfection on his movements on the court.
