BWF World Jr C'ships: Tanvi Sharma Takes Silver, Loses To Phichitpreechasak In Final
BWF World Junior Championships: Tanvi Sharma's sensational run at the BWF World Junior Championships ended with a silver medal in the girls’ singles event here on Sunday. The top-seeded Indian lost to Thailand’s second-seeded Anyapat Phichitpreechasak 15-7, 15-12 in the summit clash, which lasted 28 minutes.
Tanvi became the fifth Indian and the third female shuttler to win a silver medal at the Junior World Championships. Her loss in Sunday's final means Olympic medallist Saina Nehwal remains the only Indian to win gold at the championship, with her title triumph coming in 2008.
Besides Tanvi and Saina, who also won a silver medal in 2006, Aparna Popat (1996), Siril Verma (silver medallist in 2015) and Sankar Muthusamy (silver medallist in 2022) are the other three Indians who have won medals in the tournament.
