  • First and foremost, we start off with the big record, as she is the first singles player from India to win a gold in the BWF World Championships.

    She attained the feat last month when she beat Japan's Nozomi Okuhara in the final, 21-7, 21-7.

    Prior to winning the gold, she had already won twin silvers in the event, in 2017 and 2018.

  • Olympic silver

  • Sindhu also holds a prestigious record of being the only singles player in the sport to have won an Olympic silver.

    She achieved the feat during the 2016 Rio Olympics.

    The only other Indian singles player to win an Olympic medal in the sport is Saina Nehwal, who won a bronze in 2012.

  • In another first for her and India, Sindhu is the first Indian to win the BWF World Tour Finals crown, as she won it at the age of 24. She did it last year when she beat Okuhara in the final, 21-19, 21-17.

    To date, she is the only Indian to have won five medals in the competition: Gold (2019), Silver (2012 and 2018) and Bronze (2013 and 2014).

    Also, she is the fastest player to claim five medals at the World Championships, having played just six tournaments to date.

  • The stamina and endurance of Sindhu are always talked about.

    Meanwhile, she gave a perfect example of it when during the 2017 World Championships, she played the longest final in the history of the tournament.

    She played the match for 110 minutes against Okuhara, but failed to win it, as the Japanese won 21-19, 20-22, 22-20.
