KUALA LUMPUR: Former world champions Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik will reunite after next month’s Asian Games to commit to another campaign for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Former world champions Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik are set to resume their partnership after the Asian Games, with the goal of competing together in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, according to Chong Wei. Their collaboration will commence with the European tour, beginning at the Arctic Open in Finland from October 6-11 and continuing at the Denmark Open from October 13-18.
BAM performance committee chairman Lee Chong Wei revealed the decision came after a meeting involving the athletes, coaches, and BAM officials, following controversy over their temporary split and Wooi Yik's omission from the Asian Games squad.
