BANTHONGYOD JUNIOR WON GIRLS’ DOUBLE TITLE IN THE 3rd ASEAN PRIMARY SCHOOL SPORT OLYMPIAD (APSSO), 2009

Two Banthongyod junior athletes, Ruethaichanok Laisuan and Arisa Sapnithi, won the girls’ double title in the 3rd ASEAN Primary School Sport Olympiad (APSSO), which was held in Jakarta, Indonesia, from November 3rd to 8th, 2009.

Moreover, Arisa also got the third place in girls’ single, and Pacharapol Nipornram, another boy athlete, got the third place in boys’ double.

The APSSO project was initiated by ASEAN in 2007. It involves the sport disciplines of athletics, football, chess, table tennis, and badminton. APSSO is regarded as an excellent platform for promoting ASEAN awareness, strengthening regional solidarity, and building friendships among children in the region.

In this year (2009), eight countries participated in the event: Indonesia (with 113 athletes and officials), Brunei Darussalam (24), Malaysia (36), Myanmar (13), the Philippines (36), Singapore (30), Thailand (9), and Vietnam (39). Laos and Cambodia were absent. Thailand only played in the badminton event.

RATCHANOK CREATED NEW HISTORY FOR THAILAND IN WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP 2009

Nov. 1, 2009 -- Ratchanok Inthanon, who just won the women’s singles title in the Thailand Championship in September, has made history in the 2009 Yonex-Sunrise WBF World Junior Championship by winning the women’s singles title. In the final, she defeated Porntip Buranaprasertuk, a compatriot, 21-15, 21-23, 21-10.
Before Inthanon, no Thai badminton player had ever won a world title at either the senior or junior level championships. Inathanon also made history as the youngest gold medalist, at age 14.

In the semi-final, Inthanon was also in devastating form and subdued the challenge from Suo Di of China, winning in straight games 21-14, 21-18. Inthanon joins an elite few players who have denied China the girl’s singles crown. Last year, India’s Saina Nehwal won the title in Pune. Prior to that, China were only denied the title in 1992 (Kristin Junita from Indonesia) and 2004 (Cheng Shao-Chieh from Chinese Taipei).

Inthanon’s win was also Thailand’s first singles world title in either the senior or junior ranks. If she maintains her form, Inthanon could even continue to collect an astonishing five world junior titles, as she is eligible to compete in the Under-19 category until 2013.

After clinching the world junior title in 49 minutes, Inthanon has now set her sights on making a name for herself in the senior scene, beginning with the Malaysian International Challenge in Ipoh this month and the SEA Games in Laos in December.
