Like Sindhu, Sen has tasted his maiden Gold in the Commonwealth games. But, Gold is not new for Sen, who is a former World junior No 1. 

27-year-old Sindhu has become the talk of the nation as she bags a crucial medal that was missing at her store. 

Speaking for the first time after arriving home, Sindhu said, "I am very happy and excited. I am thankful to everyone including the Badminton Association for supporting and encouraging me."

Ying has lost the finals and settled for the Silver medal while Sindhu took the medal podium by winning the Bronze medal, the second medal for India in the Tokyo Olympics. 

Sindhu has proven that she is not here to learn but to create history through her stellar performances in her first Olympics and suddenly became a promising Badminton sensation of the country. 

26-year-old Sindhu will decorate the medal podium by becoming the second Indian athlete to win two individual Olympic medals if she triumphs over the Chinese shuttler on Sunday.

As the Olympic games have completed its first week, let's take a look at how the Indian contingent has ended the seventh day of the Olympics.

Sindhu has reserved her place in the semifinals as she has been inching closer to a medal in her second consecutive Olympic tournament.
