Lee Chong Wei Cup participant Shahadzryl hopes to win Olympic gold
KUALA LUMPUR: Winning was not enough to satisfy Shahadzryl Suhaime as the Lee Chong Wei Cup (LCWC) Grand Finals kicked into full gear at Stadium Juara, Bukit Kiara, on Tuesday.
Shahadzryl Suhaime aims to win Olympic gold after narrowly missing the mark at the Lee Chong Wei Cup (LCWC) Grand Finals. The 13-year-old Bukit Jalil Sports School student defeated Yeo Shi Yao in the boys Under-13 round of 64, but felt his performance was subpar. He highlighted his speed and power as areas for improvement, acknowledging that tougher challenges lie ahead as the competition progresses.
With an ultimate goal of becoming an Olympic champion, Shahadzryl will first aim to become an Asian Junior and World Junior champion. The Asia Under-17 and Under-15 Championships in Chengdu, China, await him soon, where he will face older and stronger opponents. The tournament founder, Datuk Seri Lee Chong Wei, has been a significant influence on Shahadzryl's career.
The boys Under-17 competition will see national junior Chong Lee Qian face Saw Kai Jiun in the round of 32, while Lee Qian also sets his sights on qualifying for the Olympics.
