Special report: 2008 Olympic Games 　

    BEIJING, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- The Malaysia Olympic Delegation held their national flag-raising ceremony in the Olympic Village here on Monday. Chef de Mission Ho Kok Chye said that Malaysia wanted to win one medal in the Beijing Games.

    "We hope to bring home one medal in the Beijing Games. And it won't have to be a gold, even a bronze is good enough for us to cheer," said Ho after the ceremony.

    Malaysia's medal hope relies on their badminton star Lee Chong Wei, world second ranked men's singles player. "Lee is in a very sound form now. He will arrive in Beijing tomorrow," said Ho.

    Since its Olympic debut in 1956, Malaysia has already participated in twelve Olympic Games. However, the country from southeast Asia only won one silver and two bronze medals, all from badminton events. After finishing empty-handed in both Sydney and Athens Games, Malaysia is determined to end their medal drought in Beijing.

    However, the 26-year-old Lee Chong Wei will not have a plain sailing in Beijing. He will face severe challenge from China's world No.1 Lin Dan, as well as the other two local players Bao Chunlai and Chen Jin. The Chinese trio have been highly expected by enthusiastic fans to sweep the podium on their own soil.

    Besides Lee, Malaysia's "diving princess" Leong Mun Yee is also a medal prospect in Beijing. The 24-year-old snatched two bronzes in 2006 Asian Games and now she has been training with her new Chinese coach for over a year.

    "I have benefited a lot from my Chinese coach. The Chinese diving team is very good, and I will learn from them in the Games. Hopefully, I can make it into the semifinal," said a shy Leong.
