Bhavinaben Patel’s delight of winning a historic silver medal at the Tokyo Paralympics on Sunday was laced with a commitment: “My dreams have come true, but I will prepare for a gold medal.” 

India’s Ahmedabad-based table tennis star Bhavinaben Patel claimed a silver after losing 0-3 to World No. 1 Chinese paddler Ying Zhou in the Class 4 singles final. “I have won my first Paralympics medal and I have struggled to reach here. I am very happy with the silver. I wanted to win gold, but could not succeed. I will start practising for that gold, which is my next target,” Patel told mid-day on Sunday.
