Faris stands a chance to win two golds


Counting on you: Mohd Faris Ahmad Azri will play in men’s singles and doubles in the SU5 category (for those with upper body impairment) at the Asean Para Games from Sept 18-22..

THREE years ago, Mohd Faris Ahmad Azri (pic) did not even know how to hold a badminton racquet properly – let alone play the game.

Now, the 23-year-old heads into the Kuala Lumpur Asean Para Games as a potential gold medallist in two events of the badminton competition, which will be held at the Axiata Arna in Bukit Jalil from Sept 18-22.
