KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 28 (Bernama) -- National women's doubles pair Chin Ee Hui/Wong Pei Tty may call it quits if they fail to qualify for the London Olympics next year.
The former world's number one women's pair, now ranked 20th following a knee injury suffered by Pei Tty, however, will discuss their future with the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM).
"Our age is catching up on us. If the BAM still needs our services, maybe we can play for one or two more years. Otherwise, we hope we will be appointed coaches," Ee Hui said here.
Only 16 pairs will make it to the London Olympics from July 27 to Aug 12.
Pei Tty, 30, and Eei Hui, 29, were ranked world's number one pair in May 2009 after winning the Indonesian Open win that year.
They had just returned from the India Open where they were ousted in the semi-finals last week.
In the last two Olympics, they fared badly as they were eliminated in early rounds in Athens in 2004 and Beijing in 2008.
Eei Hui and Pei Tty will start their 2012 campaign with the Korea Open Super Series from Jan 3 to 8 before taking part in the Malaysia Open Super Series at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil from Jan 10 to 15.
