PETALING JAYA: Japan’s Kento Momota is fired up to win a gold at home but there are a host of title contenders as determined as him, including Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia. But now, the 26-year-old Momota is ready to unleash his pent-up desire to nail the big one although he admitted that the pressure to win was “huge”. “Zii Jia stands a fair chance to challenge the best in the tournament and it’s anybody’s game under the circumstances. 8 Zii Jia, who is in Group M with Brice Leverdez of France and Ukraine’s Artem Pochtarov, will open his campaign against Pochtarov today. If Zii Jia gets through, he will face Group N winner, who is likely to be defending champion Chen Long.
