DeSilva-Andrade Advances To Quarter-Finals
Yushae DeSilva-Andrade continued competing in the Boccia World Championships, advancing to the tournament’s quarter-finals.
In her third group stage match of the competition, DeSilva-Andrade defeated Katerina Curinova from the Czech Republic 4 – 1, advancing to the quarter-finals.
Coach Troy Farnsworth said, “DeSilva-Andrade played well and handled the pressure well considering it was a do or die match. To make the top eight at a World Championship is a fantastic effort. She really has nothing to lose tomorrow. I think she has a realistic chance of beating any of the players remaining and, most importantly, has the belief herself.”
Well done Yushae. Bermuda is proud of you !
