Following a successful performance at the 2026 Asian Para Games, Thai wheelchair fencer Saysunee Jana has set her sights on qualifying for the 2028 Paralympic Games in the United States.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, 52-year-old Thai wheelchair fencer Saysunee Jana is preparing for her next major challenge after securing two gold medals at the 2026 Asian Para Games in Japan.

Her journey serves as a point of national pride and demonstrates the high level of competitiveness within the Thai Paralympic contingent. While her commitment to the national team is clear, the specific qualification path and the official roster for the 2028 Paralympic Games remain to be confirmed as the international sporting calendar progresses.
