Thailand shines in Vietnam, capturing four Teqball championship golds

Thailand dominated the World Championships, securing four out of five gold medals on December 8 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

During the finals, Thai player Jutatip Kuntatong staged a remarkable comeback after losing the opening set against Brazil's Rafaella Fontes (10-12), eventually prevailing with scores of 12-10 and 12-9, according to Footboom Online.

Jutatip, teaming up with Suphawadi Wongkhamchan, earned another gold medal by defeating the Hungarian duo of Krisztina Acs and Petra Pechy with a double score of 12-9.

"My goal was to win two gold medals here, and I’ve accomplished that, so I am very happy. We knew the Hungarian team would be very dangerous, so we analyzed their style and created a game plan against them, preparing extensively," remarked the now triple world champion.

Other team events also saw gold medal for players from Thailand.

Jirati Chanliang and Sorrasak Thaosiri defeated the Polish duo of Adrian Duszak and Marek Pokwap with scores of 12-10, 9-12, and 12-9. Meanwhile, in mixed doubles, Suphawadi and Phakpong Dejaroen rallied to win 10-12, 12-4, and 12-10.

The only exception came from Romanian top seed Apor Gyorgydeak, who clinched victory in the men's singles category.
