Blows away arch-rival Okuhara in the summit clash to win her first title of the year; proves third-time lucky after losing in the 2017 and ’18 finals

Sindhu Scales A Peak No Indian Ever Has

P.V. Sindhu on Sunday scripted history as she became the first Indian to win badminton World Championships gold by beating arch-rival Nozomi Okuhara of Japan in a lop-sided summit clash on Sunday.

The Olympic silver-medallist Indian won 21-7, 21-7 in the final that lasted just 38 minutes.

Never-say-die attitude

It was third time lucky for Sindhu who had lost to Okuhara and Carolina Marin of Spain respectively in the 2017 and 2018 finals to bag a silver twice. She had won a bronze each in the 2013 and 2014 editions.
