Suresh stuns hot favourite to become world champion


Target locked: S. Suresh in action during the final at the World Archery Para Championships yesterday.

PETALING JAYA: His name may not ring a bell, but S. Suresh has made the nation proud when he won the men’s recurve gold at the World Archery Para Cham-pionships in Hertogenbosch, Holland.

The 25-year-old from Kedah, who has a prosthetic leg, shrugged off a slow start to defeat 2015 world champion Eric Bennett from the United States 7-3 (26-28, 26-26, 27-25, 26-25, 29-27) yesterday.
