SAR paddlers claim two more medals at Asian Para Games
Hong Kong, China on Friday continued to shine in table tennis at the Asian Para Games in Nagoya, bagging a silver and a bronze in the men's and women's doubles events. With no third-place play-off, Hong Kong were guaranteed of at least bronze entering the day's last four matches at Sky Hall Toyota. The SAR pair of Chiu Kan-shan and Wong Yue-ching claimed silver in women's doubles class WD14 event, after falling to the national team's Huang Wenjuan and Liu Xiaowu in straight games. Huang and Liu needed just 23 minutes to wrap up the one-sided affair, sweeping to a 5-11, 8-11, 8-11 victory. Fellow paddlers Ho Ka-sing and Wong Chi-yin added to Hong Kong's medal tally by winning bronze in the semis of the men's doubles class MD18 event. They fell 1-3 to China's Lian Hao and Zhao Shuai. Ho and Wong put up a spirited fight despite dropping the first game 8-11, taking the second 11-7 to level the best-of-five contest. But the SAR pair were unable to maintain their momentum, losing the next two games 2-11, 7-11 to claim bronze after 24 minutes. Edited by Aaron Tam
