One of my all time favourite badminton player and former World Champion, Zhao Jianhua is back in Malaysia to make a special appearance for Ampang Jaya BC in the Kopiko Purple League. The ambitious club have engaged Jianhua, as one of their coaches. A future collaboration between Jianhua’s team in China to beef up Ampang Jaya BC’s junior programme is also in the pipeline. The 49-year-old legend will sit on the coaches’ bench when Ampang Jaya BC take on Petaling Jaya BC at the Sports Arena Sentosa in Kuala Lumpur on Jan 31.
Those who has followed badminton since the 80's will surely remember the rivalry between Zhao Jianhua and Yang Yang. Two outstanding players with superhuman ability. While Yang Yang is more of a complete player, Jianhua will always be remembered as the most gifted and craftiest player ever to grace the sport.
Ampang Jaya BC team manager Khek Mong was pleased to get Jianhua on board. “Jianhua is admired for his killer smashes, which we can see in Lin Dan’s game now. He is the idol for many players,” said Khek Mong. “He will coach our players before the match against Petaling BC on Jan 31. He will also work with some of our juniors. His presence will be a big boost.”
