Aida Dahlen – Huang Wenjuan: 4-11, 10-12, 6–11 On the outside of the arena, Dahlen’s mother Anne Tove paced restlessly back and forth. She never dares to see her daughter play live. – I can’t be inside, it’s so exciting that it becomes completely impossible, said mother Anne Tove, who explained that she runs in if she gets a message that everything is going well. But that message probably didn’t come. Because after a win in three straight sets for Wenjuan, it was Chinese gold in Paris – while Dahlen took his very first silver in the Paralympics. – Now I think she’s having a really good time, as she often does when she loses. And we must have that at that level here, we must not like to lose, says Jan Bergersen to news. According to him, the match was possibly decided when Dahlen was unable to decide the second set. – The key was probably that she was unable to manage the set ball she had there, says Bergersen.

The Chinese showed good moves early on and won the first set easily 11–4. Little worked optimally for the 33-year-old from Kristiansand, who thus took an early timeout in the second set. – The margins are on China’s side here, said news’s commentator Patrick Rowlands. After the break, Dahlen’s game picked up, and in the second set, Kristiansanderen also took the lead 7–6. But despite a lift in his game, Wenjuan was still a few tricks up. At 10-10, the ball from Dahlen is too long, and then it was a set ball for the Chinese. A blister from Dahlen ensured another Chinese set. – Unfortunately, she makes a simple mistake on the set ball, says news’s expert commentator Raymond Gonzales.

Photo: Maja Smiejkowska / Reuters – I dreamed that I would get here and now I have made it, said Dahlen to news with tears in her eyes after reaching the final. Dahlen took part in the Paralympics in London, Rio and Tokyo, but this is the first time she has managed to make it all the way to the final. The Games in Tokyo ended with bronze. Wenjuan, on the other hand, has team gold and individual silver from Tokyo, as well as pairs gold from this year’s Paralympics, but still lacks the individual gold.
