As of now, only Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu have won medals for India (in women's singles badminton) at the Olympics.

At the 2012 London Games, Nehwal brought home India's first-ever Olympic medal in badminton. She clinched the bronze medal.

Sindhu then secured back-to-back medals (silver in 2016 and bronze in 2020).

She could become the first-ever Indian athlete with three individual Olympic medals.
