The Star

Retired mixed doubles shuttler Chan Peng Soon, when met at an event organised by AIA in Subang Jaya on Wednesday (June 10), said it is common for the national badminton setup to reshuffle and try out new combinations in the doubles department if the previous formula does not work.  The 38-year-old Rio Olympic Games silver medallist said there is still time left before the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028 to change things around.

00:00Do you know what to do with your partner?

00:03Even if I took a new partner, I don't feel comfortable, I don't feel comfortable

00:08Oh, the original pair is better

00:12It can make you think, oh, you are the best, my partner is the best

00:18But now I try anything I don't know

00:23I don't know why I don't know what to do with your partner

00:34I don't really know

00:36But for me, it's not the bad thing

00:42Because the Olympic boom didn't start again

00:45So I don't feel comfortable with your partner

00:49It's not normal, it's common

00:52Even if I had a growing boom, it was injured, I had to take a pair

00:56But for me, I felt like a case like that

01:00If it was successful

01:02If it was successful

01:03If it was successful, it wasn't successful

01:05When it was Olympic, I think you should take a pair now

01:09I mean, if you want to take a pair now

01:11That's why I said that they didn't take a pair

01:15I don't know very much

01:17Maybe they were more clear

01:18The coaches, they were BM

01:20If they wanted to take a pair, maybe they were fresh

01:25So, I don't know what to comment

01:29I mean, we can try anything

01:31But for me, it's still a couple of days

01:32Yeah, for the time, we still have a lot of time

01:35I want to ask for a mix table

01:39Like now, for Yi Wei injet

01:40You ever feel that when Liu Ying injet

01:42You and Pei Yan Wei

01:44You see?

01:45You see, there's a lot of people

01:46So, at that time, you as...

01:49I'm tired

01:51I'm tired

01:52I'm tired

01:53I'm tired

01:54But what's your advice for Tang Jay?

01:56Because you've been in a similar situation

01:58When you're strong pair

01:59And you're still injured

02:00Maybe you pair with a new kid

02:03What's your feeling?

02:04What's your advice for Tang Jay?

02:06I feel the most important thing is to keep your advice

02:10To keep your expectations

02:11That's the condition, performance

02:14You keep training

02:16Walaupun you partner with young people

02:19You can learn to cover more

02:22To make you stronger

02:27After Yi Wei comes back

02:30I think you still keep your performance

02:35There is very important

02:36More important there
