Re: BWF World Championships 2019
I’ve watched the video of JanaGanaMana playing with Pusarla V Sindhu atop the winner’s stand at least 20 times already. Just want to hit the auto-redial button and keep watching it!!

Re: BWF World Championships 2019
Not sure if she is the greatest ever yet. That would still be Magnificent Mary. But certainly the greatest badminton player ahead of Prakash Padukone and Saina.

Re: BWF World Championships 2019
Absolutely the greatest Indian sportswoman of all time.
Win an Olympic gold next year and she will be the greatest Indian sportsperson of all time.
Definitely the best big tournament player we have had.
Congrats PVS!

Re: BWF World Championships 2019
Yes, for me the greatest Indian sportswoman of all time too.
It was interesting that in the post match interview, Sindhu first thanked the new Korean womens coach and then thanked Gopi. The Korean coach does seem to have made a difference in her game in this world championships.
Can we get someone like Handyo too again for mens team at the earliest. Momota has been way above everyone else there ( he destroyed Antensen in the final here too). But, other than him things are not settled. So, if a good coach can get it together along with Gopi, it may still be time for either Sai Praneeth or even Srikanth to aim for a minor medal at Tokyo.

Re: BWF World Championships 2019
Maybe the Indonesian Flandy who is the doubles coach?
Don't think the men have a coach since Handyo went to Singapore.

Re: BWF World Championships 2019
My first thought as well once I heard this fantastic news. Bindra, Susshil, MaryKom, Dyan Chand, Balbir Singh are the other candidates.Unread post by jaydeep » Sun Aug 25, 2019 5:18 pm

Re: BWF World Championships 2019
Amazing achievement from Sindhu! Completely dominated the field in this tournament.
For all time greatest Indian sportsperson, we should probably also include a couple of the cricketers - Sachin Tendulkar and perhaps Virat Kohli....

Re: BWF World Championships 2019
Sachin and Vishy Anand have a shout for sure. I wouldn't include the likes of Bindra, Sushil and Mary Kom in the discussion. Would put Vijay Amritraj and Saina above that lot.
Virat is a choker in knockout matches, and has been a poor LOI captain though ironically probably the best test captain. He could still change the former though time is running out for him.

Re: BWF World Championships 2019
Nobody is even considering Leander among the greats? The first individual medal at an Olympics after 44 years, won by a guy not even in the best 100 in the world then. Even now the most shocking achievement ever by an Indian, to me! He was later a world #1 in a different sport too (I mean doubles).
