Lee Zii Jia Secures Paris Olympics Spot, Ng Tze Yong Fate Uncertain

Lee Zii Jia has solidified his spot in the Paris Olympics but Ng Tze Yong’s participation remains uncertain as he recuperates from spinal disc surgery. At the upcoming Asian Championships spanning April 9-14, Zii Jia will confront formidable opponents like Taiwan’s Chou Tien Chen or China’s Weng Hong Yang in the second round.

Sitting at 17th in the Race to Paris standings, Tze Yong must deliver a stellar performance, ideally advancing to the semi-finals, to secure his Olympic berth. However, his journey is fraught with challenges potentially facing China’s Li Shi Feng in the second round.

The Asian Championships represent the final opportunity for players to accrue Olympic ranking points before the qualification window closes.
