PETALING JAYA: National men’s doubles shuttlers Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik failed to win a second gold medal for Malaysia at the SEA Games after falling to an Indonesian pair in today’s final.
The world No 2 pair and the competition’s top seeds lost 21-14, 21-17 to the eighth-ranked pair of Sabar Karyaman Gutama-Reza Pahlevi Isfahani, leaving Malaysia well short of the four-gold medal target announced by the Badminton Association of Malaysia.
This is the fourth time Aaron-Wooi Yik have lost to the top Indonesian pair in five encounters, including the loss in the team event final last week.
