Nova’s charges on the rise thanks to healthy rivalry


The spur to get better: Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei can’t be too comfortable as they need to raise their game further to remain as the No. 1 in the country.

PETALING JAYA: A healthy competition is developing among the mixed doubles shuttlers in the country and national coach Nova Widianto believes this is a positive sign for his charges.

While national No. 1 and world No. 9 Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei have been the more consistent pair since they were combined at the end of 2022, teammates Hoo Pang Ron-Cheng Su Yin and independent pair Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie have also improved this year.
