RIO DE JANEIRO: The real challenge begins for Lee Chong Wei after he easily advanced into the Rio Olympics men's singles quarter-finals on Sunday. Singapore's Derek Wong was beaten 21-18, 21-8 in 35 minutes as Chong Wei, as expected, topped Group A to advance into the quarter-finals. Chong Wei said he has adapted well to the conditions and having extended breaks between his matches wasn't too much of a problem. Chong Wei beat Soren Opti of Suriname on Thursday in his opening clash before playing Singapore's Wong on Sunday. It's the Olympics and I want the gold so I have to accept all challenges," said Chong Wei.
