Paris Paralympics: Nitesh Kumar Confirms Medal After Reaching Men's Singles SL3 Final
Defending Asian Para Games: India's top-seeded para-shuttler Nitesh Kumar confirmed the country's sixth medal in the ongoing Paris Paralympics after advancing to the final of the men's singles SL3 category following a dominating 21-16, 21-12 win against Japan's Daisuke Fujihara in the semifinal on Sunday.
The 29-year-old, who won silver in the 2022 Para-Badminton World Championships, got the better of his Japanese opponent in a 48-minute clash.
The SL3 category is for players with movement moderately affected one side of the body, both legs, or the absence of limbs. They play standing on a half-width court and have reduced court movement but a full range of shots.
