Olympics 2016 : PV Sindhu wins silver medal

PV Sindhu wins silver medal after going down 21-19, 12-21, 15-21 to Carolina Marin: As it happened

PV Sindhu becomes the first Indian woman to clinch a Silver medal at the Olympics.


PV Sindhu took the opening game against Spain’s Carolina Marin 21-19 but couldn’t sustain that momentum as the World No 1 came back into the contest to win the next two games 21-12 and 21-15. Sindhu still won hearts all over for her valiant effort and winning the silver medal – the best finish by a shuttler at the Olympics.


Indian shuttler P.V. Sindhu has beaten Japan's Nozomi Okuhara to make a smashing and historic entry into the badminton finals of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
After beating Okuhara (21-19, 21-10), the 21-year-old Hyderabadi becomes the first Indian to gain an Olympics final spot in Badminton.
On Friday, ninth-seeded Sindhu will meet Spain's Carolina Marin for the title clash at 7:30 pm India time. Marin is currently the world No. 1. Sindhu had defeated world No. 2 Wang Yihan of China in the quarter-final.
With her impressive feat today, now has a shot at gold, but has assured a medal-starved India of at least a silver. "My target is gold, promise to play my heart out,"
