Iran's Milad Vaziri (pictured) defeated Witthaya Thamwong of Thailand 6-2 in their final, whilst Lee Kar Wai Calvin of Hong Kong also secured a place despite losing in the third place play off.

In the women's category, top seed Bishindee Urantungalag of Mongolia and Indonesia's Ika Yuliana Rochmawati both qualified for London 2012 after reaching the final, where the latter won 6-5.
