Lee Zii Jia, ranked No. 7 in the BWF rankings, is well-positioned for the Paris Olympics, avoiding other top seven players until the quarter-finals. This favorable seeding boosts his chances, unlike in Tokyo 2021 where he faced an early tough match.

Reflecting on his Tokyo experience, Zii Jia is determined to perform better in Paris, emphasizing perseverance and learning from past failures.

In doubles, Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik, ranked No. 5, should advance past the group stage despite not being seeded. However, mixed doubles team Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei and women’s singles player Goh Jin Wei might face tougher competition due to their lower rankings.
