Tokyo 2020 Paralympics: India's table tennis player Bhavina has made history at the ongoing Paralympic Games in Tokyo. Bhavina has advanced to the final by defeating Chinese player Miao in the semifinals and is just a step away from winning a gold medal. Bhavina said after a resounding victory that nothing is impossible in life.

Bhavina described her victory against Miao as a big achievement for herself. Bhavina Patel said, "This is a great achievement for me. Everyone always says that it is impossible to defeat China, but today I have proven that if you want to do something, nothing is impossible."

By reaching the final, Bhavina has already secured a silver medal for India. But Bhavina Patel's eyes are on India's first gold medal at the Tokyo Paralympics. "I have never considered myself a divyang and today I have proven that everything is possible if you want," said Bhavina Patel.
