Paris 2024: Will Lee Zii Jia Win Bronze?

Aug 05, 2024

We will continue our bid for a second Paris Olympics medal tonight!  

That's when badminton ace Lee Zii Jia takes on India's Lakshya Sen in the men's singles bronze medal playoff. 

Former shuttler Roslin Hashim told us Zii Jia must approach the game carefully, as to his opponent’s playing style is similar to that of Kunlavut Vitidsarn, who knocked Zii Jia out in the semis.  

For the record, Zee Jia has only won one of his last five encounters against Lakshya.  

The game starts at 8.30pm and you can catch it live on Syok, that's s-y-o-k, via the Syok app or website!

It was Malaysia's first medal in Paris.

Chelsea's Connor Gallagher has reportedly agreed to join Atletico Madrid after both clubs settled on a £33 million pound transfer fee.  

The midfielder's future at Chelsea was in doubt amid concerns that he would not suit  the playing style of their new boss Enzo Maresca.
