Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy: India's Top Medal Hopes in Badminton for Paris 2024.

August 4, 2012, marked a historic moment in Indian sports history. At London's iconic Wembley Arena, all eyes were on 22-year-old Saina Nehwal as she battled in the bronze medal match of women's singles badminton against China's Wang Xin.

In a twist of fate, Nehwal lost the first game 18-21 and was trailing 0-1 in the second when Xin abruptly retired due to foot pain. This unexpected turn made Nehwal the winner, securing India's first Olympic badminton medal.

Four years later, at the Rio Olympics, PV Sindhu faced off against her friend Carolina Marin in the women's singles final. 

Despite a hard-fought battle that ended 19-21, 21-12, 21-15 in Marin's favor, Sindhu proudly claimed the silver medal, surpassing Nehwal's achievement with a smile on the podium.

India's badminton contingent for the Paris Olympics boasts a formidable lineup: PV Sindhu leads the charge in women's singles, backed by HS Prannoy and rising star Lakshya Sen in men's singles. 

The dynamic duo of Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy are set to make waves in men's doubles, while the experienced pair of Tanisha Crasto and Ashwini Ponnappa aim to shine in women's doubles. 

This diverse squad promises thrilling performances and hopes to bring home medals, showcasing India's growing prowess in international badminton.
