5 Sports in which India can win a medal in Tokyo 2020
4) Badminton
In Olympics history India has only won two medals in Badminton. In 2012 London Games it was Saina Nehwal who created history winning a bronze medal and in this year’s Rio games it was PV Sindhu who outperformed her colleague and won a silver medal for India.
One thing which makes me bullish for India’s medal chances in the next Olympics from Badminton is that there are a number of quality players with age by their side.
PV Sindhu is just 21 years old peaking in her career therefore if she can sustain this momentum for the next few years and take her game a notch further then there are very bright chances of a medal in the next games.
Even in the men’s category there are players like Kidambi Srikanth who came extremely close to winning medal in this games but missed marginally. A slight improvement in their games in the coming years would increase their chances of ensuring a podium finish considerably.
