The coach of the India’s table tennis team, Mamta Prabhu, believes the three medals won at the World Table Tennis (WTT) Contender in Tunisia recently is a “special feat.” Prabhu, a 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games silver medalist, stressed that it’s always a tough task to beat Chinese, Korean and Japanese players.
India’s women’s doubles pair of Sutirtha Mukherjee and Ayhika Mukherjee won the gold medal outclassing the Japanese pair of Miyuu Kihara and Miwa Harimoto by 3-1 (11-5, 11-6, 5-11, 13-11) in the final, while India’s men’s pair of Manav Thakkar and Manush Shah, and mixed doubles pair of Manika Batra and G Sathiyan settled for a bronze medal each after losing their respective semi-finals. Prabhu had special praise for Sutirtha and Ayhika, who she felt helped each other to win the gold medal despite having different challenges and a distinct style of play.
