Spain’s Carolina Marin shrieked her way to a historic Olympic badminton gold on Friday as she beat India’s PV Sindhu in three games to become the first non-Asian women’s singles champion.
World champion Marin won 19-21, 21-12, 21-15 to break an Asian hegemony dating back to badminton’s advent as an Olympic sport in 1992, while Sindhu became the first Indian woman ever to win a Games silver medal.
Sindhu’s feat was applauded by one and all on Twitter.
While Sindhu was gracious in defeat and hugged her opponent after the defeat, a number of social media citizens made fun of the World No. 1 for her signature grunting (We have left out some of the meaner tweets)
