A happy but itchy Park


Down but not out: Kento Momota of Japan falls on the court during his match against Taiwan’s Chou Tien-chen in a Group C Thomas Cup tie yesterday. Momota won 21-12,18-21,21-16.

JAPAN’S head coach Park Joo-bong was rushed to the hospital after coming out with rashes all over his body on Tuesday night.

But the hard-working Joo-bong turned up yesterday to lead his team to a double success when both the men and women’s team marched into the quarter-finals as group champions.
