SAR para paddlers guaranteed seven medals

Hong Kong's para table tennis team is set to secure at least seven medals at the upcoming Asian Para Games in Nagoya. This is confirmed by the fact that seven players have advanced to the semi-finals of their respective events. In the individual table tennis events, there is no third-place play-off, which means each of these seven athletes is guaranteed a minimum of a bronze medal.

In the women's singles Class 11 event, Wong Ting-ting defeated Natsuki Wada from Japan in a thrilling quarter-final match. The game went to a decider after both players were tied at 2-2, but Wong ultimately won 12-10. Similarly, Lam Yan-yu also secured her spot on the podium after a hard-fought victory over Malaysia's Gloria Wong in the women's singles Class 10 quarter-finals.

Chiu Kan-shan and Wong Yue-ching demonstrated exceptional skill by winning all of their group matches in the women's singles Class 7, bypassing the quarter-finals to directly advance to the semi-finals. Pang Wing-ka also made it to the semi-finals after finishing second in her group in the women's singles Class 6 event.

On the men's side, Wong Chi-yin and Wong Hon-lam both advanced to the semi-finals of the men's singles Class 9 after defeating their opponents from Indonesia and Kazakhstan respectively. All seven athletes are scheduled to compete in their respective semi-finals on Tuesday.
