Thailand Won All Three Teqball Doubles Finals in Straight Sets to Open Their Asian Games Gold Medal Account
Suphawadi Wongkhamchan won two of the golds, partnering Phakpong Dejaroen in the mixed doubles and Jutatip Kuntatong in the women's doubles.
Thailand won their first gold medals of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on 20 September 2026, sweeping all three teqball doubles titles, and every final was won in straight sets.
The first gold came in the mixed doubles, where world champions Phakpong Dejaroen and Suphawadi Wongkhamchan beat Japan's Yuina Sakamoto and Akinori Wase 12-4, 12-5. It was Thailand's first medal of any colour at the Games.
Suphawadi then won a second gold alongside Jutatip Kuntatong in the women's doubles, beating Myanmar's Hsu Mon Aung and Phyu Phyu Than 12-6, 12-3.
In the men's doubles final, Sorrasak Thaosiri and Jirati Chanliang completed the sweep with a 12-7, 12-4 win over Lebanon's Ahmad Kassem Arabi and Mohamad Hafez. Thailand had reached all three finals after sweeping the semi-finals on 19 September, and the men's pair, like the mixed doubles team, arrived in Japan as world champions. Suphawadi was the only player to leave the teqball competition with two gold medals.
Vietnam also won medals in the event, with Nguyen Hoang Minh Tan and Trinh Gia Nghi taking bronze in the mixed doubles after beating an Indian pair 12-9, 12-6.
