India para shuttler Pramod Bhagat, who clinched two gold medals at the BWF Para World Championships in Manama, Bahrain, recently, has revealed that winning a record sixth singles gold in the SL3 category holds a lot more value to him than the men’s doubles gold he won alongside Sukant Kadam in the SL3-SL4 category.

He doesn’t mean to undervalue doubles in any way, but there’s a special reason why he treasures this sixth gold. “This singles gold medal is definitely the most satisfying for me because I surpassed my idol Lin Dan, who won five World Championship gold medals during his stellar career. He’s a legend,” Bhagat told mid-day on Tuesday.
