Strong support: Lee Zii Jia says Liew Daren (pic, below) has been a big help to his Olympics preparations.
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia, dead set on getting on the podium in his Olympics debut, is not the least perturbed by the lack of top quality sparring options.
On the contrary, the 23-year-old who stunningly won the All-England title in March, has only praise and appreciation for seasoned campaigner Liew Daren, who was recruited by head coach Hendrawan to specifically provide intense training ahead of the Tokyo Games.
It’s imperative that Zii Jia has strong sparring partners to train with considering there wasn’t any tournament available to play in since March.
