Mumbai: Bolstered by the historic para-badminton World Championships gold, Manasi Joshi has now turned her eyes on making the cut for next year’s Paralympics and said she is focussing on mixed doubles as SL3 category is not part of the Tokyo Games. Joshi on Sunday clinched her first gold medal in the World Championship at Basel in Switzerland by defeating defending champion Parul Parmar 21-12, 21-7 in the women’s singles SL3 category. However, the Indian is aware that she does not have a singles event at the next year’s Tokyo Paralympics, and hence is concentrating on the mixed doubles category to make it to the quadrennial event.
