Badminton: South Korea's 2012 bronze medallist Chung dies aged 35


SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean badminton player Chung Jae-sung, who won bronze in the men's doubles at the London Olympics, has died at the age of 35, the Korea Badminton Association said on Friday. Yonhap News quoted local police as saying Chung had been diagnosed with arrhythmia three years ago and that he had complained of chest pains at times. Chung partnered Lee Yong-dae to third place at London in 2012 with their victory over Malaysian pair Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong. He was super fit as a player," Malaysia's The Star quoted Tan as saying. I offer my condolences to his wife and two children and I pray that the family will stay strong".
