NATIONAL table tennis players Choong Javen and Karen Lyne are just unstoppable.
The duo have created history after becoming the first pair to reach the mixed doubles final at the Commonwealth Games.
Javen-Karen stunned Singapore's Clarence Chew-Zheng Jian 11-7, 5-11, 11-7, 11-7 in the semi-finals at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham on Saturday (Aug 6) to secure at least a silver medal.
Cool and composed Javen-Karen, who had dumped top seeds Sathiyan Gnasasekaran-Manika Batra of India in the quarter-finals, will face another India Achanta Sharath Kamal-Akula Sreeja in the title match on Sunday.
They will have to be wary as the world No. 32 Achanta has a formidable partner, who won the national title this year.
