KUALA LUMPUR, March 5 (Bernama) -- World champion Cheah Liek Hou has won his first title this year after emerging champion in the Spanish Para Badminton International Level 1 men’s SU5 (physical disability) event in Toledo tonight.
The 2020 Tokyo Paralympics gold medallist beat Fang Jeng Yu of Taiwan 21-7, 21-13 in the 27-minute final.
The victory makes up for his loss to Indonesian Dheva Anrimusthi in the Spanish Para Badminton International Level 2 final a month ago.
Liek Hou created a sensation after he reclaimed the men’s singles SU5 title at the World Para Badminton Championship in Tokyo, Japan in November last year.
The 34-year-old shuttler claimed his 12th world title after becoming singles champion for the seventh time and collecting five titles for the SU5 doubles category.
