Chong Wei triumphs against quad squad in Penang fundraiser GEORGE TOWN: Two-time All England champion Datuk Lee Chong Wei took on four players at the same time and won during a charity exhibition match at the Dewan Tunku Geodesic Dome in Komtar here. He defeated Penang state players Tan Jia Wei and Goh Jin Wei, former state player Tan Thien Hua and his brother Chong Eng within 15 minutes in front of more than 1,000 fans. Chong Wei led from the beginning until 16-11 at one point. His opponents managed to take four more points before he wrapped up the game with a 21-15 win. http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/4/3/nation/8407209&sec=nation anyone can find video of this? should be interesting
The best idea to make the charity event is to hold an exhibition match between Zhao Jianhua and LCW. Guarantee would gather lots of support and spectators. Match of the century..
gosh. that would be painful to watch. LCW has a 27 inch waist while Zhao Jianhua probably has a 34 inch waist. LCW probably weigh 15 kg lighter than ZJH.

The sale was made yesterday at the Juara Stadium in Bukit Kiara here during the auction of the “Hope & Smile” charity fundraising project organised by two-time champion Lee Chong Wei for the earthquake-tsunami victims in Japan. Chong Wei donated the two racquets he used en route to winning the All-England for a second time in Birmingham last month together with two shirts and a pair of shoes. The other racquet was sold for RM85,000 while the shirts had a combined price of RM50,000. The shoes Chong Wei wore fetched RM24,000. Earlier, Chong Wei entertained the huge crowd at the charity event by dishing out a delightful performance in an exhibition match against former Olympic and world champion Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia. Two of the best shuttlers in the world wowed the crowd and the match ended with a 22-20, 21-19, 22-20 victory for Chong Wei. “I’m happy with this project and I would like to thank my good friend, Taufik, for helping me out,” said the world No. 1. He added that although the earthquake-tsunami struck Japan on March 11, he was unable to organise the fundraiser earlier because of his involvement in the China Super League. Meanwhile, the two racquets used by Chong Wei and Taufik for the match were also sold at the auction for RM 84,000. The Badminton Association of Malaysia’s (BAM) president, Datuk Seri Nadzmi Mohd Salleh, was also present to hand over a RM15,000 cheque from funds collected from BAM council members. Chong Wei will head back to China for his last match in the China League. His next international tournament is the Super Series in India Open from April 26-May 1.
