IBSF World Champion Anupama Ramachandran:<\/b> Anupama, who was the top seed in Group D and was making her debut at the event, had a great run till the semifinals, where the world no. 8 Indian lost to world no. 3 Mink Nutcharut to take the bronze medal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 24-year-old Indian made a strong start to the season at last month\u2019s UK Women\u2019s Championship event in Leeds, at which she notably recovered from 0-2 down to defeat world champion Panchaya Channoi in the quarter-finals before losing out to eventual champion Bai Yulu in the following round.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With no ranking points to defend until February 2027, Anupama is well-placed to consolidate her position inside the world\u2019s top eight with another strong performance this week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
