China take three golds at Badminton Asia Championships
With three golds, three silvers, and seven bronze medals, China's badminton team asserted its dominance in the 2024 Badminton Asia Championships, here on Sunday.
Carolina Marin isn't a typical Spaniard. In fact, the fiery Huelva native is far from it. The reigning Olympic champion is known for her fiery persona on the court, battling for every single point but can she perform under pressure?
By pressure, we mean a round of rapid fire of course! The Statesman put her through a gauntlet of ‘tough’ questions. Read on to see which way the 23-year-old sways when forced to pick between the frying pan and the fire!
PV Sindhu or Saina Nehwal?
“Seriously? How can you ask me to choose? I don’t have a favourite opponent! As long as I beat them, I'm fine with playing anyone!”

Paella or Butter Chicken?
“This is too easy! Of course, Paella! Paella any day. I know Indians love butter chicken, but Paella (One of Spain’s iconic dishes, a rice-based meal with chicken and beans) is my weakness!”
Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer?
“Another easy one! Rafa is my idol, so of course, him over Federer. Federer is a great champion, but I think you'll be hard pressed to find a Spaniard who chooses him over Nadal!”
Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?
“Messi! I know I have lots of fans who support Real Madrid, but sorry guys! It's just my personal opinion that the Argentine is the best player in the world!”
Dogs or horses?
“Ah! This is unfair! You know I like both, don't you? This is too tough to call. I need a time out! I cant choose one, give me both!”
