    Sumathi Sivan Nithya Sre: Tokyo Games medallists Suhas Yathiraj and Manoj Sarkar had a contrasting day as did Thulasimathi Murugesan and Manisha Ramadass as they won their respective matches in the badminton competitions at the Paralympic Games on Thursday. Tokyo 2020 silver winner Yathiraj had a mixed day while Sukant Kadam and Tarun Dhillon won their opening match in the group stage on the opening day of badminton competitions.

    Yathiraj, who is an IAS officer of the 2007 batch of Uttar Pradesh cadre and has served as District Magistrate of Gautam Buddha Nagar & Prayagraj, started the day with a defeat in the Mixed Doubles SL3-SU 5 partnering Palak Kohli. They lost to compatriots Nitesh Kumar and Thulasimathi Murugesan 0-2 (14-21, 17-21) at Court 4 of the La Chapelle Arena in the French Capital.

    The 41-year-old shuttler then came back a couple of hours later to start his campaign in the men's singles SL4 on a rousing note, defeating Indonesia's Hikmat Ramdani 21-7, 21-5 in just 22 minutes in his first match in Group A.
