The BWF Para-Badminton International Level 2 event takes place after a two-year hiatus.
“The year 2022 has started well with the Spain tournament and I want to continue my momentum and continue to win. My training is going well and I plan to perform everything I have practiced,” Bhagat said in a statement.
Bhagat, who won gold at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo, picked up two silvers and a bronze at the Spanish Para-Badminton Open last month.
Sukant Kadam, who finished with a bronze medal in Spain, said he saw the event as preparation for the big events to come.
“I trained hard and the results are there for everyone. The Brazil tournament is part of my preparation for the Asian Games and the World Championships which are scheduled for later this year.
“Brazil will see the best talent coming and I would like to do well in the tournament. »
Apart from Bhagat and Kadam, Manoj Sarkar, Tarun Dhillon, Parul Parmar, Nitesh Rana, Manasi Joshi, Palak Kohli and Nithya Sri are the other top Para Indian commuters who will take part in the tournament.
