WWOS staff
Dutch table tennis player Kelly van Zon left her opponent gaping at the miraculous shot she pulled off in their meeting at the Rio Paralympics.
Turkey's Kobra Korkut had turned away after she hit a cross table shot that looked to have beaten van Zon.
But van Zon, the current defending women's C7 Paralympic champion, didn't let the ball go to ground.

She dove to her right, not only reaching the ball but sneaking in a superb winner.
Korkut, who had already turned away to celebrate, couldn't do anything but watch in amazement at the athleticism and determination of her opponent.
Twenty-eight-year old van Zon went on to win the match.
