<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Indian shuttler <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/other-sports/article/shuttlers-strike-gold-23336971" rel="none"><strong>Suhas Yathiraj</strong></a> secured his second successive Paralympics silver medal in men's singles SL4 after going down in straight games to favourite Lucas Mazur of France in the final on Monday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 41-year-old Suhas, a 2007 batch IAS officer, looked tentative and was no match for the formidable French, losing 9-21 13-21 in a lop-sided summit clash.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The loss meant Lucas once again denied Suhas the glory, having beaten him in the Tokyo Paralympics final three years ago.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Born with a congenital deformity in his left ankle, which significantly affected his mobility, Suhas plays in SL4 category which is meant for athletes competing while standing with less severe impairment than in SL3.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His silver took India's medal tally in Paris Paralympics para-badminton to four, following the gold won by Kumar Nitesh (SL3) and silver and bronze claimed by Thulasimathi Murugesan and Manisha Ramadass in women's singles SU5.</span></p>
