World Championships no longer 'special' for Aaron-Wooi Yik

KUALA LUMPUR: For men’s pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik, the World Championships may just be another day at the office.

World Championships no longer 'special' for Aaron-Wooi Yik

For men's pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik, the World Championships have become a routine event rather than a special occasion. The duo, who recently advanced to the semi-finals in New Delhi, have already secured a medal by virtue of being in the last four. The pair, who have won the world title in 2022 and a bronze medal in 2023, now view the event as a preparation for upcoming tournaments such as the Asian Games in September.

While the semi-final success may not hold much significance for the pair, it is a rewarding day for their coach Herry IP, who turned 64 on Friday. The result is particularly encouraging for the pair as they had been separated for two months due to a reshuffle in the national men's doubles department.
