LEFT-handed combination Mohd Faiq Masawi-Lok Hong Quan proved that their victory in the recent Malaysian Junior Interna-tional Challenge (IC) was no fluke when they defied the odds to win the men’s doubles gold for Selangor in the Malaysia Games (Sukma).
Faiq-Hong Quan’s seniors in the national team Beh Chun Meng-Goh Boon Zhe from Penang were the hot favourites to capture the title and looked on course for the win in the final after taking the first game 21-19 but the former refused to give up and came out firing in the second and third games to win 21-19, 21-15 in a thrilling final in Sibu yesterday.
