On April 28th 2009, one of the most splendid first-class century warfare was launched in INTI International University! Malaysian squash star and world ranked No. 15, Ong Beng Hee faced Malaysian squash national sports team coach Alan Pete Sauza.
During the first round table tennis match, the unusual yet amusing gestures of both squash champions playing table tennis, provoked laughter the audiences in scene. During the second round which was the badminton match, both players played beyond expectations of the crowd as they were well-matched and the tactical game was very intense.
In Racketlon, the competition begins and never stop until the very last minute, when we will never know who is going to be the ultimate winner because the contestants must grasp four links (table tennis, badminton, squash and tennis) in each point and the best part of it is that every point is a key, a point, a victory that brings you a step closer to the next round.
When both players were given the access to the greatest weapon of all, the squash racket, they played a Racketlon squash match with splendid skills that brought the auditorium to a state of shock and silence. Imagine during such intense game, one of the audiences was invited into the court by Ong Beng Hee to play along and that stirred up some entertainment and laughers among the audience.
Although the sun was scorching at the tennis court, our squash star and national sports team coach displayed their impressive athletic spirit and completed the competition. It was obvious that both players well prepared. After an exciting game of tennis by both squash superstars, finally, the student beat the coach and the winner of the match was Bengy.
After the game, two squash stars let go of their competitive nature and displayed the friendly side of them, took some picture with the contestants of INTI Racketlon 2009, their families, and fans who have traveled a long way to come to see their favorite sport superstars playing Racketlon. It was indeed a memorable moment for many!
Thus can be seen, Racketlon, a versatile game which is not necessarily a sport which can be won by looking at the skills alone. It also emphasizes the physical strength, mental ability and strategies. You need not necessarily be a sport star to triumph at Racketlon. But you must have a strong passion in the sport. Racketlon gives you a total different experience and perhaps one day, you will become a world-class King of Rackets!
