PETALING JAYA: A year of hardship has ended with the best result for mixed doubles pair Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie on and off the badminton court.

Soon Huat-Shevon ran out of steam when they lost 15-21, 13-21 to the current world No. 1 pair Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Sapsiree Taerattanachai of Thailand in the quarter-finals of the World Championships in Huelva, Spain, yesterday but still, it was their best performance in the series.
