Tan Fook wants a third Olympic Games appearance By LIM TEIK HUAT PETALING JAYA: Veteran doubles pair Choong Tan Fook has been given the option of becoming a coach but he is not about to take up the offer yet. For Tan Fook, the desire to play in top-level badminton competitions is still burning strong and he wants to take a shot at making a third Olympics appearance in Beijing next year. Tan Fook partnered Wan Wah to retain their Asian Badminton Championships (ABC) title in Johor Baru last week and the win has also boosted their confidence to achieve their goals. Doubles head coach Rexy Mainaky has entered Tan Fook-Wan Wah for the Singapore and Indonesia Opens next month, which would be the first two tournaments to offer ranking points to qualify for the 2008 Olympics. Back on track: Tan Fook (right) and Wan Wah retained their ABC crown last week. The two meets will also be an opportunity for the veteran pair to maintain their current ranking position ahead of the World Championships to be held in Kuala Lumpur in August. Tan Fook-Wan Wah and Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong have sealed their place for the world meet by virtue of being ranked sixth and seventh respectively in the latest world rankings. “We have qualified but it is not enough yet. We will aim to stay inside the top eight at least to get a good seeding for the world championships. It would also ensure that we do not face any top pairs until the quarter-finals,” said Tan Fook. The seeds for the world meet will only be determined by the world rankings on Aug 2. There is now greater competition among the doubles players since Rexy took charge two years ago and Malaysia can now boast of entering the most number of doubles pairs each time a Super Series tournament is held. Joining Tan Fook-Wan Wah for the Singapore Open are Kien Keat-Boon Heong, Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari-Mohd Zakry Latif, Gan Teik Chai-Lin Woon Fui, Chan Chong Ming-Hoon Thien How and Tan Bin Shen-Ong Soon Hock. “This is good because the country do not have to worry if Wan Wah and I are not able to play anymore. “The coach (Rexy) has informed us that we will get our chances to compete in tournaments as long as we can still challenge for honours. It is a fair challenge for us. “I will consider a coaching role perhaps after the Olympics but if I can still challenge the younger players, I will not give up.” The challenge has been laid down for Tan Fook-Wan Wah in the Singapore Open to try to set up an all-Malaysian semi-final affair against Kien Keat-Boon Heong from the bottom half of the draw. They are seeded sixth and will face team-mates Chong Ming-Thien How in the first round. Danish second seeds Jen Eriksen-Martin Lundgaard Han-sen should await the Malay-sian pair if they reach the last eight. Kien Keat-Boon Heong also faces a tricky opening round against Fairuzizuan-Zakry.
Congratulations to CTF Today is Tan Fook’s big day THE Malaysian Open will always have a special spot in the heart of veteran doubles shuttler Choong Tan Fook. He fell in love with China’s formidable doubles player Zhang Jiewen at the 2004 event. And today, they will officially register their marriage in Kuala Lumpur. Lovebirds: Tan Fook and Jiewen will wed today. “It will be special day. Finally, I am making it official. We will certainly remember the Malaysian Open forever,” he said. Tan Fook-Wan Wah lost in the opening round of the ongoing Malaysian Open to Mak Hee Chun-Tan Wee Kiong on Wednesday.
Paris perfect for Tan Fook’s honeymoon and last fling at glory “I wanted it to be a very special occasion and I am happy that many were able to attend our wedding. I am also thrilled that our Thomas-Uber team members managed to take time off to join in this ceremony,” said a delighted Tan Fook. Tan Fook, whose love affair with the Olympic champion blossomed in 2004, said that the world meet in Paris would mark an end to his decade-long badminton career. “I have finally decided that the world meet in Paris will be my final shot at winning glory for the country. Then, I will move on,” said Tan Fook, who had reached the semi-finals twice in 2001 in Seville and 2007 in Kuala Lumpur. “Of course, I will want to do well with Wan Wah. I want it to be the most memorable one.” http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2010/5/2/sports/6175177&sec=sports no wonder so many player go to genting
