 "Tokyo Paralympics 2020: 'Take a bow,' Twitter hails Bhavina Patel for historic silver medal")
Indian paddler Bhavina Patel’s impressive run at the Tokyo Paralympics 2020 came to an end as she suffered a 0-3 (7-11, 5-11, 6-11) loss to World No 1 Chinese paddler Ying Zhou in the women’s singles class 4 final. The 34-year-old, however, scripted history by signing off with a silver medal in her maiden Olympics. On Saturday, she notched up a hard-fought (3-2) win over China’s Miao Zhang to become the first paddler from the nation to enter the final of Paralympics. With Bhavina’s silver, the Indian team also opened its account at the Games Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well as other from the sporting fraternity took to Twitter on Saturday to congratulate Bhavina for her historic feat. Wishes continued to pour in on Sunday after the paddler signed off with a silver. Here are a few of them: PM Modi’s all praise for Bhavina
