NEW DELHI: In an exhilarating announcement, seven Indian shuttlers, including the illustrious PV Sindhu, have officially punched their tickets for the Paris Games. This feat marks a significant milestone for Indian badminton, underscoring the nation’s growing prowess on the global stage.
Former world champion PV Sindhu, along with singles maestros HS Prannoy and Lakshya Sen, had already solidified their spots before the official confirmation. However, the suspense lingered until Monday, the cut-off date designated by the Badminton World Federation (BWF), when the formalities were officially concluded.
Under the stringent qualification criteria, the top 16 shuttlers in both men’s and women’s singles, based on their Olympic Games Qualification ranking by the stipulated cutoff date, secured their coveted berths. This rigorous selection process emphasizes the caliber and consistency required to represent one’s nation at the pinnacle of sporting competition.
The inclusion of seven Indian shuttlers across four categories not only reflects the depth of talent within the country but also heralds a new era of badminton excellence.
