Hong Kong, China's table tennis athletes on Tuesday had a strong showing at the Asian Para Games in Nagoya, earning a handful of bronze with two gold or silver medals still up for grabs. With no third-place play-off in individual table tennis events, the SAR's paddlers were guaranteed of at least bronze going into the day's semi-final matches at Sky Hall Toyota. Wong Yue-ching added to Hong Kong's medal tally first despite falling 3-0 to the national team's Wang Rui in the semi-finals of the women's singles Class 7 event. China's Wang will battle for gold later Tuesday against Hong Kong's Chiu Kan-shan, who beat South Korea's Kim Seongok 3-1 in the other women's single Class 7 semi-final. Wong dropped the first game 8-11, though fought to keep it close against the 2022 Asian Para Games gold medallist in the opening game of the best-of-five contest. But she was ultimately unable to hang on, dropping the next two games 6-11, 6-11 to lose the contest in straight games. Over in the women’s singles Class 11 event, Wong Ting-ting will also compete for gold on Tuesday when she takes on Japan's Miya Yamaguchi. Meanwhile, Pang Wing-ka saw the podium after falling in straight games to China's Liu Xiaowu in her last four meeting of the women's singles Class 6 category. Lam Yan-yu also earned a spot on the podium after a slim 3-2 loss to Chinese Taipei's Lin Tzu-yu in the semis of the Class 10 category. On the men's side, Wong Chi-yin bagged bronze after narrowly defeating Japan's Koyo Iwabuchi 3-2 in the last four of the Class 9 event. Wong Hon-lam sealed bronze after falling to China's Zhao Yiqing 3-1 in the other Class 9 semi-final. Edited by Tony Sabine
