PETALING JAYA: Men’s doubles shuttlers Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik believe that they have hard work ahead of them if they are to realise their dream of ending Malaysia’s elusive wait for gold in the Paris Olympics in July.

Yesterday, world No. 5 Aaron-Wooi Yik went down 19-21, 16-21 to South Korea’s reigning world champions Kang Min-hyuk-Seo Seung-jae in the quarter-finals of the French Open which was held as the same venue as the Olympics at the Adidas Arena in Paris.
