Lee, who has four Commonwealth Games gold medals, is looking to add two more golds at the Gold Coast edition which begins on Wednesday (Apr 4). Lee won the gold medal in the singles and mixed team event in the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne and in Delhi in 2010. “I’m back to defend the gold medal for my country. I‘ll do my best to win two gold medals in the team event and in the individual event," he said. Lee's former teammate, doubles specialist Koo Kien Keat, is the most successful Malaysian athlete in the Games with five gold medals. The badminton event will be held at Carrara Sports and Leisure Centre from Apr 5 to 9 for the mixed team event; the singles competition will be held from Apr 10 to 15. Malaysia is drawn in Group D alongside Canada, Seycelles and Ghana for the mixed team event .
Lee CW vs Seychelles player How to call Australian police? LCW should have skipped it. It's too easy.
Sri Lanka putting up a great fight against India in the Team events -- the guy playing XD &MD is a natural (pretty good desperation/reaction shots), wouldn't be surprised if they managed to medalled in one of the individual events or SGP goes home empty handed.... Yep, SRI looks about the equal, if not better of SGP these days...
IND & MAS sending their A-team -- seems like they are using the Commonwealth Games as their "warm-up/ramp-up" to Thomas/Uber Cups rather than the Asia Badminton Championships (like CHN, JPN, KOR)
Don't think LCW will treat CWG as war. It's friendly games and a chance to go to the beaches, and the Great Barrier Reef!
