Nepalese players at the World Table Tennis Championships in China mourned victims and fretted about the survivors after the huge earthquake in their homeland which killed more than 3,200 people.
Nepal’s Elina Maharjan was in tears as she recounted how friends had been killed and injured when the 7.8-magnitude quake pummelled the Himalayan region on Saturday.
“It’s hard to play, I just pray that everyone is safe,” she said after losing out in a women’s doubles qualifier, according to a press release from organisers.
