Lee unfazed by possible clash with rival Lin

-

LONDON: World number one Lee Chong Wei is not ready to dwell on the prospect of facing arch-rival Lin Dan of China in the Rio Olympics semi-finals, after both shuttlers were drawn in the same half for the Games. Lee, who will play in his fourth Olympics next month, will be looking to end his long wait for an elusive Olympic gold at the Riocentro venue, after losing out to double Olympic champion Lin in the finals of the Beijing and London Games. “The draw is okay for me compared to others, but I want to take it one match at a time,” Lee told Malaysian media. “This is the Olympics and everyone will give his best to win. When I’m playing him (Lin) then I’ll deal with him.”
