After winning the All England Open and making it to the top 16 on the Olympics, is there anything Lee Zii Jia is not capable of? Simply stellar on the court, believe it or not, there is so much more than meets the eye with Malaysia's pride and joy.
We did a tad bit of research, and found out 4 fun things about this badminton legend. Check em' out!
#1 He can play the guitar, rap & sing
Showcasing his musical skills on social media, how old were you when you found out that Lee Zii Jia plays the guitar, raps and also sings?!
With some pretty rad vocal skills, he constantly updates his Instagram followers with his ability to rap in both Malay and Chinese.
#2 He plays basketball
No doubt being the son of two ex-national basketball players and current coaches of an Alor Setar's basketball team, he too plays basketball (when he is not smashing it in the badminton court, of course).
His favourite team? The Lakers.
#3 He loves Korean food
Being as fit as he is (wink wink), you would think he lives his life on a healthy diet. Wrong! Well, he generally does, but even world number eights have cheat days.
Zii Jia's all-time go-to cheat meal is Korean food. He adores Korean barbeque, and cannot get enough of especially, pork belly.
#4 He hates running
Another trait we all can relate to, Lee Zii Jia hates running! Despite being constantly training to be in shape, the one thing he ultimately does not do, is run.
And that is it, the 4 interesting and cute things, about Lee Zii Jia. I mean, who would have thought we would wake up one day and see a world champion be exactly like you and me right?
