"This championship is an outlet for athletes who want to show their skills, which can lead to even higher achievements," he added.
Among the winners in the Indonesian contingent were SH6 mixed doubles pair Subhan and Rina Marlina, who successfully defeated Peruvian-Polish pair Hector Jesus Salva Tunque and Oliwia Szmigiel by 21-2, 21-3.
"We understand their game. I had also met Hector Jesus when I competed in the singles during the championship in Dubai, so I was more confident," Subhan said.
The earlier championship was an important factor in Subhan and Marlina’s win.
