Malaysian player failed in quater-final

Malaysian women single player Wong Mew Choo and double stars Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong failed in their bid to the quater-final games.

Mew Choo failed in her bid to become the first Malaysian in 42 years to win the women’s singles title when she went down 21-7, 29- 27 to Lu Lan.

Malaysian challenge for an Olympic medal for badminton has been whittled down to just one contender following the exits of Wong Mew Choo and the men's pair of Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong at the Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium.

Kien Keat-Boon Heong was beaten 16-21, 18-21 by Indonesian world champions Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan in the quarter-finals. It was the first time in six meetings that Kien Keat-Boon Heong lost to the Indonesian pair.

I was quite shocked that KKK and TBH had lost. During their battle, they did not play 100% best. Many mistakes had been made during the first round. It is quite disappoint that Malaysia failed to get medal in the end. Now, just depend on Lee Chong Wei.
