TWO indoor stadia located 20 kilometres of each other were packed to the rafters over the weekend as the main protagonists gave Malaysian sports fans a mixed bag of emotions.

From the monumental high of claiming a double world title at Titiwangsa Stadium from the men’s sepak takraw team to the disappointment of Lee Zii Jia’s defeat to Viktor Axelsen in the men’s singles of the badminton Malaysian Masters at Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil, it was a week to remember.
