Local Badminton Round-Up #1

It's been a busy past few weeks in the world of Malaysian badminton. Last weekend, Aaron Chia & Soh Wooi Yik ended Malaysia’s 18-year drought at the Badminton Asia Championships with a resounding win in their category. That was a sweet moment to somehow get the squad in a good mood ahead of the upcoming Sudirman Cup. But the pain the national squad suffered at the All-England and other European tournaments last month means that there is still work to be done for the team. BAM has promised shake ups, and the immediate one we saw was the splitting up of our mixed doubles pair, Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei, though that didn’t last very long, as they are now reunited again. Sports journalist Fabian Mark Peter joins the show to help make sense of what’s been happening in the local circuit these past few weeks, including speculating on the future of Pearly Tan & M. Thinaah, and many more.

In our Peak Performance segment, former national cyclist Edwin Ng shares some tips on how to start cycling, and what gear and equipment you should have when starting out.
