Hangzhou, China, Oct. 25 (CNA) Taiwan's Lin Tzu-yu (林姿妤) and Chen Po-yen (陳柏諺) grabbed two more gold medals Wednesday at the Asian Paralympic Games in Hangzhou, China, bringing the team's total gold count to three after winning a men's taekwondo event earlier this week.

In a women's singles class 10 final, Lin beat Taiwan's Tian Shiau-wen (田曉雯), 3-2.

The duo have faced each other multiple times in women's singles finals in the past, but the Asian Para Games was their first encounter.

Tian, a bronze medalist at the Tokyo Paralympic Games two years ago, is also partnering with Lin this time in the women's doubles class WD20 and will compete in the quarterfinals on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Chen beat Takeshi Takemori of Japan in the men's singles class 11 Final, 3-0.

Earlier in the day, table tennis players Lin Chun-ting (林駿梃) and Su Jin-sian (蘇晉賢) also bagged Taiwan two bronzes in men's singles class 10.

In addition, Wu Nung-pin (吳農彬) won bronze in men's long jump-T13.

Taiwan has so far captured 11 medals in the games, standing 13th among 30 teams.
