Paris: Star paddler Manisha Ramdass posted a 2-1 win over Maud Lefort of France in a Group C game of the Para-Badminton Women’s Singles SU5 event on Thursday.

The young Indian star registered an 8-21, 21-6, 21-19.

Meanwhile, India's armless archer Sheetal Devi finished second in the women's individual compound open ranking round with a stunning performance to directly make a round of 16 entry in the Paris Paralympics on Thursday.

The 17-year-old Devi from Jammu and Kashmir, who shoots with her legs as she was born without arms, scored a total of 703 points out of possible 720 to finish second behind Oznur Girdi Cure of Turkey, who set a ranking round world record of 704 points.

In fact, Devi also got past the ranking round world record of 698 set by Phoebe Pine Paterson of Great Britain earlier this month, but the Turkish archer overtook her to claim the coveted mark.
