Wong Wing Ki will be one of eighteen players seeded in the 2012 London Olympics Men's singles tournament. He is currently only ranked 19th but 5 of the top 18 ranked players failed to make it to the Olympics. Wong Wing Ki won through into the knockout stages of the men's singles event after he overcame France's Brice Leverdez 21–11, 21-16 for his second win in a row in the group stage. Wong Wing-ki then crashed out of the last 16. His dreams were ended by third seed Chen Long, 21-17 21–17. The second set was tied seven times, but several of the shuttle's bounces on the net didn't go Wong's way. Wong said he felt his attack from the backcourt was lethal, but he said Chen was a stronger player on the net.
