PARIS — Japan’s Takayuki Suzuki won bronze on Tuesday in the 200-meter freestyle for swimmers in the S4 class for people with physical disabilities. It is his third medal at the Paralympic Games in Paris.
The 37-year-old Suzuki has already won gold in the men’s 50-meter breaststroke and silver in the men’s 100-meter freestyle.
In women’s wheelchair tennis, Yui Kamiji, 30, and Manami Tanaka, 28, won their doubles semifinal against a Chinese pair to secure a gold or silver medal. This is the first time a Japanese pair has played in the final of the event.
In women’s para table tennis, Kanami Furukawa, 27, and Natsuki Wada, 21, reached the semi-finals in the women’s singles for the WS11 intellectual disability class. Both are assured of a medal, as there will be no third-place match.
