India’s Pramod Bhagat secured the country’s fourth gold medal at the Tokyo Paralympics on Saturday when he defeated Great Britain’s Daniel Bethell in the badminton men’s singles (SL3) final.

Bhagat, the 33-year-old from Bhubaneswar who contracted polio at age four, defeated the Briton 21-14, 21-17, coming back from a 4-9 deficit in the second game to claim his first gold medal as badminton made its Paralympic Games debut at Tokyo.

Compatriot Manoj Sarkar, who had lost to Bathell in the semifinal, came back strongly to beat Japan’s Fujihara Daisuke 2-0 in the bronze medal match.

Sarkar, ranked fourth in the world, trailed initially but fought back to win the first game 22-20 in 22 minutes. He then rode the momentum to win the second game 21-13 to win the bronze medal at the Yoyogi National Stadium.
