New Delhi, Young shuttler <keyword id="19222626" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bornil-aakash-changmai" source="Orion">Bornil Aakash Changmai</keyword> on Sunday achieved the distinction of becoming only the second Indian to win a gold medal for the country in the U15 boys' singles category at the Badminton Asia U17 and U15 Junior Championships in Chengdu, defeating a Chinese rival in the title showdown. The 13-year-old Bornil displayed remarkable composure and skill, especially in a tight first game, to overcome Fan Hong Xuan 21-19, 21-13 in 34 minutes. Bornil, who hails from Assam, became the second junior badminton player after Siril Verma in 2013 to bag the top podium finish in the prestigious tournament. The Indian shuttler gave consistent performances all through the tournament and had beaten compatriot Jagsher <keyword id="19230462" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="singh-khangurra" source="Orion">Singh Khangurra</keyword> in the semifinal on Saturday.

Bornil's performance has added another feather to the remarkable success story of Indian shuttlers on the junior circuit after Ayush Shetty secured the bronze medal in the BWF World Junior Championships at Spokane, USA, earlier this month. Top Indian shuttlers recently returned from the Asian Games in Hangzhou with several firsts, with the men's doubles pair of Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy clinching a historic gold and becoming the world No. 1 pair. Badminton stalwart HS Prannoy too came up with a standout performance, clinching bronze in the continental showpiece.

Bornil clinches U-15 gold in Badminton Asia Junior Championships

New Delhi: Thirteen-year-old <keyword id="22910175" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Tanvi-Patri" source="keywords">Tanvi Patri</keyword> from Odisha has cemented her status as one of India's most promising badminton prodigies by clinching the girls' singles title at the U-15 Badminton Asia U-17 &amp; U-15 Junior Championships in Chengdu, China, the country where she first honed her skills in the sport. Patri capped off a phenomenal week with a superlative performance, defeating Vietnam's second seed Thi Thu Huyen Nguyen 22-20, 21-11 in a 34-minute final, offering a glimmer of hope after Indian badminton's recent struggles at the Paris Olympics. "I'm feeling good after winning the title," Patri told PTI from Chengdu. "I had expected to win, and I'm happy I could do that. I've been training at the <keyword id="20657841" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Prakash-Padukone-Badminton-Academy" source="keywords">Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy</keyword> (PPBA) in Bangalore for the last two years." Patri displayed remarkable resilience, fighting back from 11-17 down in the opening game to win the title without dropping a game throughout the tournament. Her parents, Rabinarayan Patri and Sailabala Panda, are software professionals who previously worked in China, where she first took up badminton. The family returned to India in 2020 following the COVID-19 pandemic. Vimal Kumar, Director of PPBA, sees great promise in Tanvi, even drawing comparisons to the early days of <keyword id="20580025" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="P-V-Sindhu" source="keywords">P V Sindhu</keyword>, one of India's most celebrated badminton players. "She was about eight or nine when she moved to India and joined the academy in 2022," said Vimal. "She reminds me of Sindhu when she was young. The ability to win matches at a young age is a good sign. She has a long way to go, and with her temperament, she has great potential." Rabinarayan, a software engineer who works from home, accompanies Patri to the academy. In November 2022, he drove 1,400 km from Bengaluru to Balangir for Patri's participation in the state sub-junior badminton tournament. "She is ahead of her age group," Vimal noted. "In the last six months, she has won U-17 tournaments and defeated several senior players, including the current national championship finalist, Tanvi Sharma. "If she improves her strength and continues to develop, she could be a strong contender for the 2028 or 2032 Olympics." Patri, who also enjoys skating, began her badminton training under Chinese coach Jiang Yong Yi and won nine titles in China between 2017 and 2020. After returning to India, she was spotted by PPBA during a camp and joined the academy in March 2022. She went on to claim both the U-15 and U-17 girls' singles titles in the All India sub-junior ranking tournaments in Hyderabad in June and Mapusa, Goa, in May this year. Tanvi also won the gold medal in the 35th Sub-Junior National Championships in Balangir, Odisha, last November and became the first shuttler from Odisha to win the girls' singles title in the 34th Sub-Junior (U-13) National Championships in Lucknow in 2022. A class eight student, Patri had reached the quarterfinals at the German Junior International in Berlin in March.

Lee has earned three Olympic medals, including a bronze on the uneven bars and a silver in the women's team event. She later became the NCAA beam and SEC uneven bars champion while competing collegiately at Auburn University.Now, she is going for more glory at the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/paris-summer-olympics-2024">2024 Paris Olympics</a>.<h2 id="3190d6e0-e9bc-4569-9a21-415f3b6b70fa">Suni Lee's early life and gymnastics career</h2>Lee began gymnastics as a young child; she has said she always liked to tumble, prompting her parents to buy her a wooden balance beam to practice on. She began formal training at six years old at the Midwest Gymnastics Center, where Puner Koy coached her.Lee's stardom was evident early on. In her second competition of her entire career, she was an all-around champion at a state gymnastics meet. By age 11, she qualified as an elite athlete in the USA Gymnastics Women's Development Program, meaning she could compete for the United States in international competitions. By 14, she was on the US Junior National Team. Two years later, as a member of the US Senior National Team, she won first place on floor, uneven bars, and all-around at the 2019 City of Jesolo Trophy in Italy.Lee is a member of Minnesota's Hmong community, many members of whom settled in the American Midwest after facing oppression in East and Southeast Asia. Many of them became refugees during the Vietnam War and fought alongside the United States.The Hmong culture typically endorses academics over sports, but Lee's family has a long history of athleticism.With her debut at the 2020 Tokyo Games — which took place in 2021 amid the COVID-19 pandemic — Lee became the second Hmong to compete in the Olympics for any team.<h2 id="8282ecc3-50c8-4c91-9a26-9c2fea54ada0">The pivotal Tokyo Games and beyond</h2>Lee spent years admiring the most decorated gymnast of all time, before <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/suni-lee-simone-biles-pushed-me-best-version-of-myself-2022-6">she competed alongside Biles</a> on Team USA in Tokyo."When I was at the Olympics, my coach and I noticed that when I worked alongside her, I was constantly getting better," Lee said. "You see how she does things, and it's like, 'I wanna be like her,' so it really pushed me to be the best version of myself."Team USA fans were stunned when <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/simone-biles-drops-out-of-olympics-gymnastics-team-final-2021-7">Biles pulled out of the team competition</a> in the 2020 Olympics, but it cleared the way for Lee to steal the show when she became the individual all-around champion of the games.She secured a bronze medal on the uneven bars, though she said she was disappointed in her performance. Lee ultimately blamed part of it on <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/suni-lee-uneven-bars-mess-up-social-media-twitter-instagram-2021-8">her social media</a> use.After competing for the Auburn Tigers for two seasons, Lee left college to focus on her return to the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/suni-lee-interview-olympic-return-paris-2024-leaving-college-2023-1">Olympics to "prove" to herself</a> that she could do it.

She posted an Instagram photo of the two that has since been deleted. At the time, in 2022, she spoke publicly about the harassment she received for being in a biracial relationship.In early 2023, Lee found out she had two serious kidney diseases after she noticed swelling in her ankles, legs, hands, and face. She was retaining water, gained 45 pounds, and had to interrupt her training due to all her doctor's appointments.Eventually, Lee's health concerns caused her to opt out of the US Women's World Championships Selection Event in September. Lee later said it was a difficult decision, but the right one.Despite the battle for her health, Lee was adamant she would recover and pursue her dream of competing at the Paris Olympics.Facing obstacles hasn't stopped fans or sponsors from betting on Lee. While Lee's exact net worth is unclear, it includes lucrative partnerships with major brands like Target, Meta, Invisalign, Skims, Gatorade, and more. Her Instagram account currently features ads with Skims, Toyota, L'Oréal, KISS Salon, and Batiste, among others.

She and Icy Hot PRO even hosted a clinic that helped her get her feet wet with the sport she can't stop seeing on TV."It's fast, it's fun, it's something new," Stephens said.

A US Open champion weighs in on the pickleball boom — and why she's still sticking with tennis

New Delhi, Apr 28 () The Badminton World Federation (BWF) on Tuesday suspended the US Open World Tour Super 300 tournament to be held in June due to the fast-spreading COVID-19 pandemic which has infected over 3 million people globally. "The Badminton World Federation (BWF) can confirm the suspension of the YONEX US Open 2020 set to be held 23-28 June in Fullerton, California," the BWF said in a release. "This decision was made in close consultation and consensus with USA Badminton. "BWF accepts that all relevant health, safety and logistical risks have been considered by the tournament organisers." Indian men's singles shuttler H S Prannoy had won the US Open in 2017, beating compatriot Parupalli Kashyap in the final. Earlier this month, the BWF had announced the suspension of a number of HSBC BWF World Tour, BWF Tour and other BWF-sanctioned tournaments which are scheduled to take place in May, June and July. Tournaments affected include three HSBC BWF World Tour events headlined by the BLIBLI Indonesia Open 2020 (Super 1000), plus a number of Grade 3, Junior and Para badminton competitions. The governing body had last month suspended Swiss Open Super 300 (March 17-22), India Open Super 500 (March 24-29), Malaysia Open Super 750 (March 31-April 5), and Singapore Open Super 500 (March 7-12) and Badminton Asia Championships (April 21-26).

BWF suspends US Open due to COVID-19 pandemic

By Amit Kumar Das New Delhi, Apr 27 () With five titles under his belt, Lakshya Sen was racing towards the top echelons of international badminton before his stunning run was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought all competitive action to a halt across the world. With the world in lockdown to contain the deadly disease, Lakshya too is enduring the uncertain times within the confines of his apartment, near the Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy (PPBA) in Bengaluru. "I was looking forward to play big tournaments, compete against better players and try to make it to top 15 this year. But then everything stopped suddenly, all tournaments suspended. Now I don't know when they will resume," Lakshya told . The 18-year-old from Uttarakhand was in sensational form in the senior circuit last year as he claimed as many as five titles, including two BWF World Tour Super 100 top honours -- SaarLorLux Open and Dutch Open -- to zoom to 32nd rank by the end of the year. He is currently placed 27th in the world rankings. He continued his good run early this year, claiming a big win over Asian Games gold-medallist Jonathan Christie of Indonesia at the Badminton Asia Team Championships and then putting up an impressive show against former world champion Viktor Axelsen of Denmark in the second round of the All England Championships. Lakshya was looking forward to the Swiss Open (March 17-22) but All England turned out to be the last tournament before the BWF suspended all action. In fact, he was in the middle of the tournament when government's travel restrictions came into force. "I had a match to play (second round) when the Ministry had announced travel restrictions. I didn't think much about it but by the time I had played my match, BWF had cancelled the tournaments. "So, we booked tickets and returned. Initially our plans was to go to Swiss from there," said the soft-spoken Indian. Lakhsya has been at home since returning to the country and has his family with him. He has got the company of his mother, his brother Chirag Sen, who is also an international shuttler, and father D K Sen, who has been coaching at the PPBA after taking voluntary retirement from the Sports Authority of India. In a bid to retain the fun of playing the sport, the Sen family decided to clear out an area in the drawing room. "I believe something is better than nothing. So we have removed the dining table and other furniture in the drawing room to create some space for them to play for fun, at least they can have a feel of the racquet in hand," the senior Sen said. "Sometimes they work on net play, or just work on service because you can't play shots like tosses or smashes inside the room, in this little space." Was he impressed with Lakshya's game against Viktor? "Well, he was playing well in All England but he made some mistakes in crucial points. I believe he will need to show more maturity when he takes on big and experienced players," he said in a rather dispassionate assessment. With courts out of bound, Lakshya and Chirag are also trying to keep themselves fit. "We train for sometime in morning and evening, we do exercises like skipping, body weight, core workout, agility training and some wall exercises. We are given weekly schedule from the academy," Lakshya said. "Rest of the time, we watch movies and play games on playstation. I do feel restless a bit because there is not much we can do but training helps. "It is after a pretty long time that I have got this break, generally when you are injured you get such a break," he signed off. ATK PM PM

After his win at Augusta National, that changed quickly.Matsuyama became the <a href="https://www.insider.com/hideki-matsuyama-wins-masters-xander-schauffele-2021-4">first Japanese man to win a major golf title</a> on Sunday as he won the Masters Tournament, finishing the weekend 10 under par, one shot ahead of American debutant Will Zalatoris.After Matsuyama claimed his first green jacket, Tiger Woods said on Twitter that the victory would <a href="https://www.insider.com/tiger-woods-hideki-matsuyama-masters-win-2021-4">change the landscape of golf.</a>"Making Japan proud Hideki," said Woods, who missed the tournament due to injuries <a href="https://www.insider.com/tiger-woods-out-of-hospital-back-home-after-car-crash-2021-3">suffered in a car crash in February.</a>"Congratulations on such a huge accomplishment for you and your country. This historical @TheMasters win will impact the entire golf world."While Matsuyama was little known outside golfing circles in the US before last night, back home in Japan it is a totally different story.So famous is the 29-year-old in Japan that he previously hid the fact that he was married with children from the media.<h2>Matsuyama took up golf at an early age </h2>Born in 1992 on the Japanese island of Shikoku, Matsuyama began playing golf as early as 4, but it was during his time at boarding school and later university that his talent blossomed. After winning the 2010 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, Matsuyama competed in the 2011 Masters before turning professional. There he finished as the leading amateur, winning the Silver Cup in the process.He then turned pro in 2013, before a year later qualifying for the PGA Tour. He has since won six tournaments, including the 2014 Memorial Tournament, the 2017 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, and, of course, <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/the-masters">this year's Masters.</a><div type="image" title="Matsuyama" height="1333" width="2000" msid="82032048" hostid="261"></div>Such exploits on the golf course have made Matsuyama not only $33 million in prize money but also a major celebrity in his home country. Over the years, Matsuyama has been extremely private about his personal life. He revealed that he had a wife only when she gave birth to their first child in 2017. Matsuyama's wife is named Mei, according to the PGA Tour website."No one really asked me if I was married, so I didn't have to answer that question," Matsuyama said at the time, <a href="https://golf.com/news/hideki-matsuyama-secret-marriage-revealed-private-nature/">per Golf.com.</a>"I felt that after the PGA would be a good time because our baby is born, and I thought that would be a good time to let everyone know."Although Matsuyama said that he didn't discuss his wife because no one asked, ESPN's Wright Thompson wrote after the Masters win that it was likely kept a secret because of <a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/golf/insider/story/_/id/31239660/the-burden-being-hideki-matsuyama-was-lifted-masters">the scrutiny he faces from the media back home.</a>"Back home, Matsuyama is obsessed over to the degree that he and his wife kept both their marriage and the birth of their child from the rabid Japanese media," <a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/golf/insider/story/_/id/31239660/the-burden-being-hideki-matsuyama-was-lifted-masters">Thompson wrote.</a>"Reporters write about every little thing, including, for instance, the weight Matsuyama has gained since moving to America. It's constant and oppressive but not a surprise."He carries an enormous burden as the best male Japanese golfer, because of the vital and complex importance the sport has carried in the country since the end of World War II."<h2>Golf runs through Matsuyama's veins </h2>In 2014, the same year Matsuyama qualified for the PGA Tour, his father, Mikio, also made golf his career, buying the driving range at which his son used to practice as a child.Mikio renamed the range the Hideki Golf Garden."Since his childhood, he came here together with me," Mikio said at the time, per ESPN. "Clutching his club, practicing every day, and receiving the warm encouragements of the people he met there."He grew up passing through this place, and it's not an exaggeration to say that this is a place that raised Hideki. And so, my gratitude alone isn't enough to repay the people who have warmly cheered on Hideki since he was a child."From now on, in order to live up to the feelings of those people, I'm renewing my determination to promote golf and the growth of junior golfing however I can."After winning at Augusta on Sunday, Matsuyama paid homage to the next generation of golfers in Japan he is inspiring and his father is helping produce."It's thrilling to think that there are a lot of youngsters in Japan watching today, and in five, 10 years when they get a little older, hopefully some of them will be competing on a world stage, but I still have a lot of years left, so they're still going to have to compete against me," he said."But I'm happy for them and hopefully they'll be able to follow in my footsteps."

In January this year, Sindhu again made the country proud by winning Malaysia Masters Grand Prix Gold women's single title.
