PETALING JAYA: Reigning Paralympics gold medallist Cheah Liek Hou captured the Four Nations International title in style by beating arch-nemesis Dheva Anrimusthi of Indonesia 21-18, 21-10 in the final in Sheffield, England on Sunday (Aug 6).

The national para shuttler stayed cool to win a tight first game before easily sweeping aside Dheva in the second game in the men's singles SU5 (upper body impairment) category.

It was Liek Hou's third crown in a row after he also won the Bahrain and Canada International titles.

Meanwhile, Mohd Ikhwan Ramli finished as runners-up in the WH1 men’s singles (wheelchair) event after he went down 16-21, 12-21 to South Korea's Choi Jung-man.
