PV Sindhu created history

PV Sindhu recently won a gold medal at the Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Championship and became the first Indian to do so by beating Japan's Nozomi Okuhara 21-7, 21-7 in 38 minutes. Sindhu had the last laugh in her third consecutive final after she failed to win the gold in 2017 and 2018 edition of the BWF World Championship and had to settle with the silver medals. She had also won bronze in 2013 and 2014 edition and thus becoming the first Indian shuttler to win five BWF World Championship medals. She also became the 4th singles player ever to have a full set of world championship medals.
