P V Sindhu on Sunday scripted history as she became the first Indian to win badminton World Championships gold by beating arch-rival Nozomi Okuhara of Japan in a lop-sided summit clash here on Sunday.
The Olympic silver-medallist Indian won 21-7 21-7 in the final that lasted just 38 minutes.
Two years after being robbed of the gold by Okuhara in an epic 110-minute final at Glasgow that was considered as one of the greatest battles in badminton history, Sindhu finally exorcised the ghost of that heart-wrenching loss with a completely dominating win over the same opponent.
And now, a video reveals the intense training regimen Sindhu underwent as she prepared for the World Championships.
Watch:
Sindhu returned to India on Tuesday, and received a hero's welcome. She met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Minister for Sports Kiren Rijiju in New Delhi, and reached her hometown in the evening.
