Kota Kinabalu: Sports fans in the State will get the opportunity to meet Olympic silver medallist Tan Wee Kiong tomorrow (Monday).Sabah Badminton Association (SBA) Secretary Yapp Su Chiew said the national shuttler will arrive at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA), at 11am tomorrow.

"He will be welcomed by officials from the Youth and Sports Ministry and other agencies before proceeding to Seri Gaya to meet Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman around noon.

"After that, Tan and his entourage will be at The Klagan Hotel, in Warisan Square at about 2pm," he said.

SBA President Janih Bangud said fans are welcomed to meet with Tan at the hotel's lobby as he will be there until 6.30pm before he takes a flight back to Kuala Lumpur at 8pm.

Tan together with his doubles partner Goh V Shem won the silver medal in Rio recently.

The pair gave it their everything, but still fell short – going down 21-16, 11-21, 21-23 to China's Fu Haifeng-Zhang Nan in a 67-minute thriller at the Riocentro Pavilion 4 in Rio de Janeiro last Friday.
