Paris: Indian shuttler Manisha Ramadass won bronze in the women’s singles SU5 category after beating Cathrine Rosengren of Denmark while Thulasimathi Murugesan lost against Qiu Xia Yang to settle for silver in the ongoing Paris Paralympics 2024 on Monday. The 22-year-old Thulasimathi, the number one seed, put up a fight before going down 17-21, 10-21 against China’s defending champion Yang Qiuxia in the final.
Second seed Manisha, playing at the adjacent court, outplayed Denmark’s Cathrine Rosengren, seeded third, 21-12, 21-8 to claim the bronze medal. The SU5 category is for athletes with impairment on the upper limbs, which could be in the playing or the non-playing hand. The two medals added to India’s first badminton gold in the Paris Paralympics won by Nitesh Kumar in the SL3 category earlier in the day.
Earlier, Nitesh Kumar clinched his maiden gold medal at the Paralympics after beating Great Britain’s Daniel Bethell in a thrilling men’s singles SL3 badminton final. The 29-year-old from Haryana was rock solid in his defence and spot on with his shot selections as he beat Tokyo silver medallist Bethell 21-14, 18-21, 23-21 in an absorbing contest that lasted an hour and 20 minutes.
When he was 15, Nitesh had lost his left leg in a train accident in Visakhapatnam in 2009 but he recovered from the trauma and found his calling in para badminton. Nitesh’s victory on Monday ensured that India retained the SL3 gold after Pramod Bhagat clinched the title three years ago when para badminton made its debut in Tokyo.
