Kunlavut makes history after misfortune strikes Guangzu


PETALING JAYA: Shuttler Kunlavut Vitidsarn (pic) created history by becoming the first Thai to capture the men’s singles gold in the Asian Championships.

It was not the way Kunlavut wanted to win the title though, after homester Lu Guangzu was forced to retire from the match after sustaining an injury while trailing 12-21, 6-11 at the Ningbo Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium in China yesterday.
