PUTRAJAYA (April 5): All England champion Lee Zii Jia has given himself two years to become the world number one, after breaking into the top eight recently. Commenting on the Olympics, Zii Jia said like other players, he wanted to aim for gold but many factors had to be considered, especially the pressure at the world’s biggest multi-sports event. "I will take the Tokyo Olympics in July as an experience and give my best this time," he added. On the new scoring format proposed for implementation after the Tokyo Olympics, Zii Jia said it seemed to suit attacking players like him. "I feel I am quite fit for the 11-point scoring system because I use attacking strategies in my game often.
