In fact, the Chinese paddler defeated Bhavina 7-11, 5-11, 6-11. Let me tell you that Bhavina Patel had earlier started her campaign at the Tokyo Paralympics. In her journey of the tournament, she had knocked down players like World Number Two, World No.3. Her performance did not seem to have made her debut at the Paralympics Games. Moving fast, Bhavina missed out proceeding a gold medal.
In fact, world No.12 Bhavina lost to world number one Zhou Jing of China in the golden victory battle. However, the joy of winning a silver medal for women's table tennis player Bhavina Patel at the Tokyo Paralympics is double because it has been achieved on National Sports Day. Yes, on the day when the players are respected, the 34-year-old Indian paddler has raised the country's stature with her game.
