MALAYSIA badminton star Lee Chong Wei, whose Olympic dream was threatened by a serious ankle injury, targeted a medal on Saturday in a campaign fuelled by porridge and hot soup.
Lee, the world No. 2, who has been receiving stem cell treatment on torn ankle ligaments sustained at the Thomas Cup in China in May, said the injury helped take some of the gold medal pressure off his shoulders. "I have just come back from injury and there is less pressure. But it is my last Olympics so I want to medal for my country," said Lee, who also lost the world No. 1 rank to arch-rival Lin Dan of China during his recovery period. "A gold medal will validate my career. I don't have an Olympic gold medal, my country doesn't have an Olympic gold medal, this gold is important for me and for my country," the 29-year-old added.
