Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo, also known as the “Minions” owing to their stature, picked up another gold in men’s doubles in an all-Indonesian final with 13-21,21-18, 24-22 against Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto who brought home the Silver in an intense fight.
Meanwhile, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting settled for the bronze medal, as Chou Tienchen claimed the win with 16-21, 23-21, 21-17 in the second men’s singles semifinal.
