PETALING JAYA: Two-time Olympic Games silver medallist Lee Chong Wei is delighted and has given the thumbs-up to a decision to stick with the badminton scoring format – the good old 21x3 system. Chong Wei says the Badminton World Federation (BWF) have made the right call to maintain the current format as that is what the players had wanted. Chong Wei was involved in both finals. At the London Games, Chong Wei was engaged in a gripping encountner that saw him lose at 21-15,10-21,19-21 to Lin Dan. At the Rio edition, Chong Wei upstaged Lin Dan in the semi-finals but went down fighting to Chen Long of China in the title-match.
