It was on August 20 in 2016 that she grabbed the silver medal during the Rio Olympics after losing to Spain’s Carolina Marin in a pulsating women’s singles final.
The maiden Olympic medal proved to be a watershed moment in her life as she went on to win many medals in big-ticket events such as the World Championships, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games. “Seven years ago, I embarked on a journey that would forever change my life. Looking back, it’s hard to believe that it’s been seven long years since that momentous day when I proudly won my first Olympic medal in Rio,” she wrote on Twitter. “It was a silver, a shining symbol of my dedication, hard work, and the unwavering support of my coaches, teammates, and fans.”
