    India won only one medal in table tennis

    Entry into the semi-finals had assured a medal for this pair. But on Monday, the last-four match against North Korea’s Cha Suyong and Pak Sugyong ended in a painful defeat. The Korean pair won 7-11, 11-8, 7-11, 11-8, 11-9, 5-11, 11-2 to make it to the gold medal match. Coach Mamta Prabhu said, ‘They (Ahika and Sutirtha) started from the same club. Their friendship is more than 20 years old. They know each other very well, know each other inside and out. This is why the bonding is really strong.

    The Mukherjee pair did not make a good start, but made strong efforts to make a comeback. They lost the fourth and fifth games. At one point he made the score 3-3 and took the match to a decider.

I can say that this is not a happy day for us.

Ahika said after the match, ‘It feels surreal to win this medal, but it could have been better. We are happy with what we have.
