The moment weve all been waiting for has finally arrived! The first gold medal matches of the Paris 2024 Paralympics are set, and the excitement is palpable.

In the Class 14 Womens Doubles, a thrilling showdown is on the horizon as Germanys Stephanie Grebe and Juliane Wolf prepare to face off against Chinas Huang Wenjuan and Jin Yucheng.

This epic clash will determine the very first table tennis champions of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, with the match scheduled for 20:00 GMT+2.

Grebe and Wolf fought tooth and nail in a nail-biting semifinal against Norways Aida Music Dahlen and Merethe Tveiten. The German duo managed to edge out their Norwegian rivals in a tense five-set thriller, clinching the victory with a score of 3-2 (11-5, 7-11, 6-11, 11-9, 11-5) and securing their place in the gold medal match.

Not to be outdone, Chinas Huang and Jin booked their spot in the final by defeating Great Britains Felicity Packard and Bly Twomey 3-1 (6-11, 11-6, 11-3, 11-6).

The action doesnt stop there! Immediately following the Class 14 final, the Class 5 Womens Doubles gold medal match will take center stage at 21:00 GMT+2. With the finalists just determined, this match promises to be a spectacle.

Korea Republics Seo Su Yen and Yoon Jiyu secured their spot in the final by overpowering Brazils Caria Oliveira and Joyce Oliveria in straight sets (11-6, 11-9, 13-11).

They will face Chinas formidable duo of Liu Jing and Xue Juan, who triumphed over Thailands Dararat Asayut and Chilchitparyak Bootwansirina. After dropping the first set, the Chinese pair rallied back to win 3-1. (9-11, 13-11, 12-10, 11-7).

At the beginning of the game, we had no better way to face the opponents attack. Our backhand didnt have many opportunities. We were a little anxious in the stalemate and made a lot of mistakes. In the second game, we adapted to the opponents rhythm. , focusing on stability, we will take the initiative to seek changes. We will face the Korean team in the final tonight. We have never played against each other before, and we will work hard. Liu and Xue

Dont miss a second of the action as we crown our first gold medalists of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games! Tune in to witness history in the making!
