Sindhu is also the youngest Indian athlete to have won a medal at the Olympics and will be awarded much more on her return to India.

She was up against world champion, Carolina Marin known as the "Rafa Nadal" of badminton in her country who won Spain’s first badminton title.
 

The game came close with Sindhu winning the first set out of the three at 21-19 and Marin taking the lead on the other two with 21-12 and 21-15 victory over the 21-year-old Sindhu.

The 23 year old Carolina grasped a six point lead in the second set and roared to finish.

Nonetheless, Sindhu’s fans are cheering for her back home starting with PM Narendra Modi who said, “Congrats for the Silver, P V Sindhu. Very well fought. Your accomplishment at Rio 2016 is historic and will be remembered for years. ”

Sindhu’s parents were also proud of her victory at the Olympics and continued to support and encourage her to return to the Olympics aiming for nothing but victory.
