It’s Malaysia’s first medal at Paris 2024, and it got the entire nation on their feet cheering. Everyone’s heart rate was off the charts too, because it was truly certainly one of the nice comeback matches. Denmark pair Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup won the primary set and reached game point within the second set with a really healthy lead. We were resigned to Chia and Soh…
