Reigning world champion shuttler PV Sindhu on Sunday became only the second Indian and the country’s first woman to win two Olympic medals, securing a bronze after a straight-games win over World No. 9 He Bing Jiao of China in the women’s singles third-place play-off here.

Sindhu, who has returned with medals from each of the big-ticket events such as the Commonwealth and Asian Games and the BWF World Tour Finals in the last five years, outwitted eighth-seed Bing Jiao 21-13, 21-15 to add a bronze to the silver she won at the 2016 Rio Games.
