It was an amazing day in Dubai as the 2017 Asia Youth Para Games goalball competition comes to an end. 

In the men's semifinal competition held earlier in the day, China defeated Korea 8-2, advancing to the finals.  In the other men's semifinal match, Thailand advanced to the finals after beating Iran, 7-3.  In the women's semifinal, Iran defeated Thailand, 5-2 advancing them to the finals against China.

The fans truly got to witness a great match in the men's final game between China and Thailand.  After regulation play and the first overtime period ended, the two teams were deadlocked.  With only a minute remaining in the second overtime period, China was able to penetrate the Thailand defense, winning the match 11-10 and earning the men's gold medal.

Not to be outdone by their men's team, the Chinese women finished their tournament in a match against Iran.  Although the Iranian women played well, they were no match for the Chinese women who won the game and the gold medal by a final score of 13-3.  

All teams played well and we wish them safe travels home!
