Awangku Md Sufi Fakhrullah bin Pengiran Md Sufian emerged winner of the under-18 boys’ singles category of the Brunei National Junior and Cadet Table Tennis Championship 2020 after he cruised to a 4-1 win over Md Khairuddin Omar in the final at the Menglait Sports Complex recently.

The eventual champion exacted redemption in style after his opponent in the title decider had earlier handed him a 3-1 defeat, which turned out to be his only blemish in Group ‘B’ of the preliminary round.

Brunei Darussalam’s swimmers Ashley Chai and Emma Yusuf etched their names into the record books after they achieved new national open records during the 7th Brunei Sprints Swimming Championships at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex Swimming Pool recently.

Ashley, who performed under the banner of Peak Performance Swim Club, clocked a time of 1:10.51s to set a new national open record in the 100m butterfly. The 19-year-old eclipsed Maria Koh’s 12-year record of 1:12.01s which she recorded at the 2008 Sukma Games in Terengganu.

After a disappointing last-place finish in the Men’s Nangun for the Wushu event during the 2017 SEA Games, Mohammad Adi Salihin bin Roslan vowed to continue working hard on improving his technique.

Persevering under the guidance of national coach Li Hui, coupled with months of intensive training in China, gave him the much-needed boost to take the gold medal for the combined Nandao and Nangun discipline during the 2019 SEA Games in the Philippines.
