Man Wei Chong/Tee Kai Wun target Los Angeles 2028 Olympics ticket

Malaysian men’s doubles pair Man Wei Chong/Tee Kai Wun show strong determination to secure Los Angeles 2028 Olympics ticket — despite facing fierce domestic competition.

The arrival of new coach Herry Iman Piergandi to the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) men’s doubles team four months ago brought fresh perspective. Man/Tee claimed the Malaysia Masters 2025 title — a BWF World Tour Super 500 tournament.

Consistent performance has elevated Man/Tee to world number seven, surpassing three Indonesian pairs:

• Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Moh Reza Pahlevi Isfahani (rank 8)
• Leo Rolly Canando/Bagas Maulana (rank 9)
• Muhammad Shohibul Fikri/Daniel Marthin (rank 10)

Domestically, Man/Tee rank below two senior Malaysian pairs — Goh Sze Fei/Nur Izzuddin and Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik who occupy world rankings one and two respectively.
