TOKYO: National boccia player Chew Wei Lun sent world number two Witsanu Huad-pradit of Thailand packing en route to maintaining his unbeaten run in Pool B of the mixed individual BC1 (physical impairment) category.

Wei Lun began the day in stunning fashion by ousting Witsanu 1-0 in a tie-break after both players were level at 3-3 in regulation play at the Ariake Gymnastics Centre yesterday.

World number 11 Wei Lun continued to show his fighting spirit later in the day when he bounced back from 0-3 down to oust another higher-ranked player, world number eight Jung Sung-joon of South Korea 9-3.

The 25-year-old Wei Lun had marked his Paralympic debut with a 5-2 over Brazilian Andreza Vitoria de Oliveira in the opening group match on Saturday.

Wei Lun, who now leads Pool B, will face Katerina Curinova of the Czech Republic in the final group match today.

Only the top two from each group will advance to the quarter-finals. — Bernama
