[Saba Sports News]On the occasion
of the Chinese New Year, Malaysian badminton legend Lee Chong Wei updated his
social media with a festive post. He shared a New Year’s greeting video with
his fans and followers. In the video, Lee Chong Wei can be seen holding many
brightly colored new clothes in his hands as he speaks words of New Year’s
congratulations. However, upon the release of the video, fans expressed their
concerns as Lee Chong Wei appeared to have lost weight again, raising worries
about his health. Since being diagnosed with nose cancer in 2018, Lee Chong Wei
has undergone 33 sessions of radiation therapy. He announced his retirement in
2019 due to his illness, marking the end of his illustrious badminton career.
During his cancer treatment, his weight dropped from the previous 63-65
kilograms to around 50 kilograms, resulting in a frail and haggard appearance.
Despite successfully fighting cancer, Lee Chong Wei is aware that his body may
never fully recover to its peak condition. We also hope that Lee Chong Wei takes
good care of his health and continues to contribute to the future of badminton.
