Badminton is the only sport in which Malaysia have ever won an Olympic medal, but despite the fact they entered a top-ranked doubles team (Choong and Lee), and two top ten singles players, Wong Choong Hann and Lee Chong Wei, they were unable to add to their medal total. Both Wong and Lee won their opening round matches, then had two of the longest second round matches of the tournament, both taking more than an hour and twenty minutes before losing in three sets. The best performance from a Malaysian entry was the quarterfinal showing from the doubles team of Choong and Lee, who were upset by an unseeded Korean pair.
