Aaron-Wooi Yik set to reunite after Asian Games for LA28

KUALA LUMPUR: After extensive experimentation with various partners, veteran badminton duo Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik are set to reunite ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics (LA28). Both athletes understand the high expectations placed upon them by the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) and are fully committed to giving their best during the Olympic qualification campaign which begins in May next year.

Their reunion will occur immediately after the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. In Japan, Chia will be paired with Tee Kai Wun, while Soh Wooi Yik will not be part of the Asian Games squad. The pair previously secured bronze medals at the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympics, and also achieved the honor of being world champions in 2022 before their silver medal effort in New Delhi.
