Aaron-Wooi Yik Retain, LZJ Wins First Olympic Medal

Badminton at the Paris Olympics has kept the nation on the edge of its seat this week, as we witnessed nail-biting bronze medal matches that clinched two highly-anticipated medals for Malaysia's medal tally, with Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik defending their Tokyo 2020 bronze title in the men's doubles after wrestling back four match points in a tight second set and forcing an even closer rubber game, and Lee Zii Jia's hard fought victory against India's Lakshya Sen in a much-needed second wind that showed us all why he's one of the country's best.

Keeshaanan Sundaresan joins us on the show to break down the action on the court and what this means for Malaysian badminton come Los Angeles 2028.
