Lee Yong-dae and Jung Jae-sung has won another Super Series gold medal.

The world No. 4 pair edged second-ranked Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif and Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari of Malaysia 25-23, 19-21, 22-20 in the men's doubles final at the Hong Kong Super Series Sunday.

The South Koreans, who bowed out in the first round of the Beijing Olympics, also captured gold at the China Open Super Series the previous week.

Lee, teaming up with Lee Hyo-jung in the mixed doubles, advanced to the final, but fell to China's Xie Zhongbo and Zhang Yawen 14-21, 16-21.

The Olympic champions won gold last week in China.
