Paralympics | Winning first badminton gold for India is a moment to cherish: Pramod Bhagat

The Hindu  

It was a "moment to cherish" for Pramod Bhagat who on Saturday clinched India's first badminton gold in Paralympics and he attributed his win against Great Britain's Daniel Bethell in the finals to a strategy that he devised after losing to the same opponent in the past. I'm representing the Indian badminton community and India as a whole," Bhagat said after winning the gold. "This is the first time that para badminton is appearing in the Paralympics and winning the first gold medal for India is a moment to cherish for me," said the 33-year-old from Odisha. Bhagat, who had contracted polio when he was 4 years old, thus avenged his loss to Bethell at the Japan Para Badminton International in November 2019.
