Suhas Lalinakere Yathiraj: In a rematch of the gold medal match at the Tokyo Paralympics, India's Suhas Lalinakere Yathiraj went down to France's Lucas Mazur once again, setting for a silver medal after a 0-2 defeat in the Men's Singles SL4 section here on Monday.

Yathiraj, who had lost to Mazur in three games in the Tokyo final, could not repeat that performance and lost 9-21, 13-21 to the local star in a match that lasted 34 minutes. The SL4 category is for players with movement affected at a low level on one side of the body, in both legs or the minor absence of one limb. They play standing on a full-width court and have good court movement and a full range of shots.

Yathiraj, an IAS officer of the Uttar Pradesh cadre, is the reigning Asian Para Games gold medallist in the SL4 category and has a running rivalry with Mazur.
