Sugimura overcame his opponent 5-0 in the mixed individual BC2 final at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, but the winner at Rio 2016 was on top form at the Shabab Al Ahli Club in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

He clinched the Asia-Oceania title with a 10-2 victory.

Ladamanee Kla-Han earned another gold for Thailand at the Championships as she won 6-0 in the women's BC3 final against South Korean Choi Ye-jin, a BC3 pairs champion at Tokyo 2020.

However, Hong Kong proved most successful as individual competition drew to a close in Dubai.

The Beijing 2008 Paralympic gold medallist Hoi Ying Karen Kwok edged a narrow contest with South Korea's Jeong So-yeong 4-3 in the women's BC2.

Yee Ting Jeralyn Tan of Singapore was also among the individual winners, beating Japan's Yuriko Fujii 3-2 in the women's BC1, a scoreline matched by South Korea's Jung Sung-joon against Hong Kong's John Loung in the men's BC1.

South Korea's Jeong Ho Won hammered Japan’s Kazuki Takahashi in the men's BC3.

This is the first Championships to feature separate male and female events.
