They secured the gold medal in the women’s doubles Wheelchair (WH1-WH2) category. The hard-fought match against their Chinese opponents, Liu Yutong and Yin Menglu, ended with a score of 14-21 25-23 21-15.

Yamazaki expressed the significance of this win, stating, “This is an important victory for us as it paves the way for the upcoming Paralympics.” Satomi acknowledged the team’s strategy, highlighting that their usual rotation style alone wouldn’t have been sufficient against the fast-paced Chinese team.

In the women’s Wheelchair (WH1) singles, Sujirat Pookkham from Thailand emerged as the winner by defeating China’s Yin Menglu with a score of 21-17 21-7. Despite experiencing some discomfort in her injured right arm, Pookkham maintained her composure and played her game. Having previously defeated Yin multiple times, Pookkham attributed her victory to the younger player’s lack of confidence in facing her.
