Taiwan’s Ye Hong-wei and Lee Chia-hsin yesterday defeated compatriots Lee Fang-chih and Teng Chun-hsun in an all-Taiwanese mixed doubles badminton final to secure Taiwan’s 10th gold medal at the FISU World University Games in Chengdu, China.
The world No. 16-ranked pair took an early 9-4 advantage in the first game, a lead they never relinquished, maintaining a gap of at least four points as they coasted to a 21-15 victory.
In the second game, a string of unforced errors left Ye and Lee down 7-9, before they rallied with four straight points to go ahead 11-9.
After Teng and Lee briefly tied the score at 11-11, Lee Chia-hsin dominated the final stretch of the game from the forecourt, running her opponents around and setting up shots for her partner.
The pair ultimately won the game 21-17, securing the gold medal.
