PV Sindhu 🇮🇳 - The First Indian Woman to win an Olympic Silver Medal! | Athlete Highlights

Enjoy this look back at Pusarla Venkata Sindhu's epic highlights at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro that secured India's first Badminton silver medal ever! India's PV Sindhu was seeded ninth at Rio 2016. After dominating performances in the group stage against Hungary's Laura Sárosi and Canada's Michelle Li as well as in the round of 16 versus Tai Tzu-ying, Sindhu faced the second seeded, China's Wang Yihan, in the quarterfinals, whom she defeated in a thrilling battle to proceed to the top 4 players of the Olympics. In the semi-final, Sindhu beat Japanese Badminton star Nozomi Okuhara to secure an Olympic medal. Finally, in a close and intense Gold Medal game, Sindhu lost against Spain's Carolina Marin. Despite the loss, PV Sindhu created history. Not only was she the first Indian to become Badminton World Champion, but she also became the first Indian woman to win an Olympic Silver medal!

That return to a smash at 3:25 was out of this world. No wonder Okuhara was stunned :-o

Man, i can still remember that match!! What a night it was. More importantly, those are still still good friends. Sindhu has a great chance this time since Carolina is not playing in 2021

[supritimaiti]

She is a complete package, a determined fighter, a champion no doubt, but tends to loose her focus and falters at the finals. She will definitely improve her records at the finals and achieve greatness in coming years.

[sudhansusekharrout]

Just amazing. She smashes at a lightning speed. 😍😍

[Sneha-uolr]

I somehow couldn’t see the same aggressiveness in her game today, hope Sindhu clinches Bronze! Cheering out loud!
