00:07World No. 7, He Jiting and Ren Xiangyu, 13-21, 21-12, 21-17 at the Olympic Sports Centre
00:15Gymnasium in Changzhou on Sunday.
00:18Xiangyu sustained a lower back injury at the end of the first game, receiving treatment
00:22from his team's physiotherapist instead of the medical staff from Badminton World Federation
00:26BWF.
00:28The Chinese pair continued to compete but the injury significantly affected their performance
00:33in the second game.
00:34Sefei and Izzuddin displayed admirable sportsmanship by not celebrating after their victory.
00:39In a post-match interview with the BWF, Sefei expressed that winning under such circumstances
00:46wasn't ideal, even as they pocketed the RM622,000 prize money.
00:52This marks their first World Tour Super 1000 title and their second title this year, following
00:57their Japan Open triumph in August.
01:00The duo also made history as the first Malaysians to win the China Open since Datuk Lee Chong
01:05Wei's Men's Singles victory in 2015, while preventing a clean sweep by China, who had
01:11won all other events.
