Although Zii Jia did not win the gold medal in the Paris Olympics, his bronze medal finish was a great achievement not just for him but for Malaysia . To be 3rd best shuttler in the most prestigious badminton competition ( in my opinion) is fantastic. His honesty, raw emotions and fighting spirit has made me a fan. His game has also matured into an all round game, not just reliant on his smashes but he can be patient with his rallies too. Defensively he has improved a lot this year. Mentally he has been through a lot of challenges, but I believe he can weather these obstacles and win more titles. I look forward to see him play in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
