NEW DELHI, Jan 22<\/strong> — Reigning world champions\u00a0Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik got off to a great start but could not keep up the momentum en route to losing in the men\u2019s doubles final\u00a0of the India Open badminton championships in New Delhi today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Malaysians succumbed 21-14, 19-21, 18-21 to China\u2019s Liang Wei Keng-Wang Chang in a 63-minute tussle at the\u00a0K.D. Jadhav Indoor Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n

While the Malaysians looked strong initially, the China pair played with a better pace to subdue them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooi Yik admitted that although they gave their best, the China paid had the edge in terms of speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Malaysians said they won’t let this setback bother them too much as they continue to focus on the events ahead and their preparations to qualify for next year\u2019s Olympic Games in Paris, France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to keep believing in ourselves,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Aaron said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
