Competing in women’s team class 2-3, Lucie Buron, partnering Chile’s Tamara Leonelli and occupying the second seeded position secured first place in a group organized event ahead of Mexico’s Edith Sigala and Martha Verdin, the top seeds. Notably. Martha Verdin had two days earlier emerged the gold medallist in women’s singles class 4-5.

“Playing team with Tamara has been a great experience. I’ve especially enjoyed being able to play athletes that I haven’t had the opportunity to in the past. I’m pleased with how I’ve performed out here and hope that I can take this forward into future tournaments.” Lucie Bouron

Similarly in the men’s team events, Anurak Laowong, class 3 winner in the individual events, partnered colleague Yuttajak Glinbanchuen to success in class 2-3, the pair recording a 2-0 win at the final hurdle in opposition to Chile’s Luis Bustamente and Alfonso Diaz.

Success for Thailand in class 4-5, the respective men’s singles winners Wanchai Chaiwut and Maitree Kongruang joined forces to claim gold; as in class 2-3, Chile had to settle for silver.

Two titles for Thailand in the men’s team events, there was one more; Rungroj Thainiyom, the men’s singles class 6 winner, joined forces with Chalermpong Punpoo to secure the class 6-7 team gold. In the final they recorded a 2-1 win in opposition to Masachika Inoue and Kazuya Kaneko.

More success, it was the same for Koyo Iwabuchi, he partnered Takuya Nakajima to gold in class 9-10; in the final the duo posted a 2-0 win in opposition to the combination of Colombia’s Andres Duque and Mexico’s Miguel Vazquez, a pair they had met the previous day in the group stage when 2-1 victory margin had been the order of the day.
