Quiz on Sports Events and Experiences 10.8

Text for questions no. 1 – 5

I was very excited when heard that my city, Surakarta, would host the 2022 ASEAN Para Games. On Thursday, August 4, 2022, my best friend, Lina, and I watched the wheelchair women’s singles final. Manahan Stadium was the venue of the game. In the final, Indonesia was represented by Ndaru Patma Putri.

Unfortunately, Ndaru was defeated by Thailand Sakorn Khantasit’s tennis player. She was unable to retrieve the ball perfectly and made severals errors. That's why she was defeated 0-6 in the first set. In the second set, she won a point. It brought their score to 1-1. Thailand, on the other hand, won the second set 6-1.

I wasn’t disappointed with the final outcome. Despite her silver medal, I was proud of Ndaru Patma Putri. She gave Indonesia her all on the court. I was astounded by her tennis skills. I was also delighted to share a fantastic sporting event with my best friend.
