Asian Para Games: Bhavina Patel bags bronze in table tennis; shuttlers Pramod Bhagat, Manisha Ramdass assured of medal

Her bronze medal took India’s tally at the ongoing Asian Para Games to 12, marking the country’s first medal on Day 2 after a haul of 11 medals on the opening day.

Meanwhile, in para badminton, India’s mixed SL3-SU5 pair of Pramod Bhagat and Manisha Ramdass assured themselves of a medal by advancing to the semifinals. The duo defeated their Thai duo of Srinavakul Chanida and Teamarrom Siripong 21-15, 21-14 in straight games in just 25 minutes in the quarterfinals. 

All four Indian compound archers — Sheetal Devi, Payal Nag, Toman Kumar and Shyam Sunder Swami — also secured quarterfinal berths, marking a strong showing for the Indian contingent in the elimination rounds.

However, India suffered two setbacks in the recurve category, with Pooja losing 2-6 to Malaysia’s Chi Hui Loh in the round of 16, while Vijay Sundi was eliminated after losing in a shoot-off to Chinese Taipei.

Meanwhile, Indian para-athlete Rakeshbhai Bhatt’s campaign in the men’s long jump T37/T38 event ended without a valid mark. He failed to register a valid jump in his first two attempts and skipped his remaining four attempts, finishing the event with a no mark (NM). (ANI)
