The 34-year-old Patel, who had surprised even the Indian camp in this Paralympics with her sensational show, stunned her world no. 3 Chinese opponent 7-11 11-7 11-4 9-11 11-8 in the semifinal showdown that lasted 34 minutes.

她的父亲Hasmukhbhai Patel是古吉拉特邦马哈萨纳区Sundhiya村的一名小店主。人们认为她在本届奥运会上拿奖牌的前景并不乐观，但她让自己的首次残奥会成为了一届令人难忘的奥运会。
