In the semi-finals, a Norwegian was too strong for Juliane Wolf. She can be happy with bronze, as can a judoka and the German dressage team.
It is a bronze day for the German delegation at the Paralympic Games in Paris. Juliane Wolf in table tennis, judoka Lennart Sass and the German dressage team won the next medals for Germany. This means that the German Disabled Sports Association has now won 36 medals at the major event in the French capital.
The 36-year-old Wolf missed out on a place in the final, losing 0-3 in sets to Norwegian Aida Husic Dahlen in the round of the best four in the Paris exhibition hall. But by reaching the semi-finals, she was assured of bronze. “I’m disappointed. I had set myself higher goals than I showed in the end,” she said. Wolf won silver in the doubles with Stephanie Grebe at the start of the Paralympics. “If someone had told me beforehand that I would win two medals, I would have been totally happy,” said Wolf.
Disqualification in the semi-finals
Paralympic debutant Sass took third place in the 73 kilogram class by Ippon. He defeated the Uzbek Shokhrukh Mamedov. He had previously been disqualified in the semifinals. The 24-year-old had supported himself with his head. This is not allowed.
A little later, the riders in the park of the Palace of Versailles had certainty. Anna-Lena Niehues had set the pace before Regine Mispelkamp and Heidemarie Dresing completed their lessons properly and secured third place. The victory went to the USA ahead of the Netherlands.
No happy ending for sitting volleyball players
The German sitting volleyball team’s tournament ended more unluckily. They lost 2:3 to Egypt in a close match. It would have been the first medal in this sport since 2012.
Flag bearer Edina Müller was unable to qualify directly for the final in the 200-meter kayak. The 39-year-old came second in her heat on the course in Vaires-sur-Marne. Only the two heat winners will go directly to the final on Sunday (11:25 a.m.). The paraplegic Müller must first compete in the semifinal (10:00 a.m.).
