In Incheon, Feng Panfeng who, in addition to his Men’s Singles success, when partnering Zhai Xiang had secured Team Class 1-3 gold, was in no mood for charity; once again competing in Class 3, the top seed, he underlined his status by beating Hong Kong’s Choi Siu Hung in three straight games (11-3, 11-5, 11-5).

Similarly, Kim Younggun stressed the fact that he has every intention of retaining his Men’s Singles Class 4 title; in his opening contest, the top seed, he overcame Chinese Taipei’s Liang Chen-Kun in three straight games (11-9, 11-3, 11-4).

Impressive from both Feng Panfeng and Kim Younggun, it was the same from Cao Ningning. Four years ago he had gained success in Men’s Team Class 5 when joining forces with Zhang Yan and Guo Xingyuan. However, in Men’s Singles Class 5 there had been no similar success; in Jakarta he endorsed the fact that he has every intentions of putting matters to rights. He opened his account with success in opposition to Macao’s Cheong Lam Sam (11-5, 11-3, 11-5). Cao Ningning, similar to Feng Pangfeng and Kim Younggun, started play as the top seed.
