Lin Chun-yi, who is ranked 56th in the world, stormed to a 21-12, 21-11 win over compatriot Lee Chia-hao in the men’s singles final.

It took him just 30 minutes to sweep his opponent in straight games at Jotunhallen Stadium in Sandefjord.

The two Taiwanese shuttlers last encountered each other in the final of the Hungarian International Championships earlier this month when Lee emerged as the winner.

The victory in Sandefjord marked Lin’s fifth title this season, after Australia’s Bendigo International and Sydney International last month, the Belgian International in September and the Mongolia International in August.

Also at the Norwegian International, the Taiwanese pairing of Chang Ching-hui and Yang Ching-tun rallied to defeat Swedish duo Clara Nistad and Jessica Silvennoinen 14-21, 21-12, 21-15 in the women’s doubles final.

Taiwanese shuttlers Lu Chen and Chen Zhi-ray bested their Japanese opponents Ayato Endo and Yuta Takei 21-19, 21-19 in 40 minutes to grab the men’s doubles title.
