World Championships

Badminton player Kidambi Srikanth became the first Indian to win a silver at the BWF World Championships in Spain on December 19. Although he won a silver, he felt sorry for losing against Singapore's Loh Kean Yew in the final by 21-15, 22-20. ''I just wasn't able to finish it, but he played very well,'' said Srikanth. However, Loh also became the first male player to win gold from Singapore.
