Yesterday, Zii Jia became the third Malaysian to win an Olympic medal in men's singles badminton, following Rashid's bronze at Atlanta 1996 and Datuk Lee Chong Wei's three silver medals at Beijing 2008, London 2012 and Rio 2016. Photo by Bernama

Yesterday, Zii Jia delivered the second bronze for Malaysia when he bounced back from a game down to outlast India's Lakshya Sen 13-21, 21-16, 21-11 in an energy-sapping 71-minute third-placing playoff at the Porte de La Chapelle Arena. Photo by Bernama
