Treesa-Gayatri clinch maiden World Championships bronze after fighting semifinal loss
- On Saturday, Indian shuttlers Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand secured a historic maiden bronze medal at the BWF World Championships, ending India's 15-year wait for a women's doubles medal.
- The unseeded pair reached the semi-finals before falling to China's Liu Sheng Shu and Tan Ning in a match lasting 1 hour and 11 minutes, with final scores of 21-18, 13-21, 8-21.
- After winning the opening game 21-18, the Indians struggled to maintain momentum as Liu and Tan adapted their approach, dominating subsequent games and denying the Indians attacking openings.
- This achievement marks India's first women's doubles medal since 2011, when Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa claimed bronze in London, maintaining India's streak of winning a medal at every World Championships.
- Treesa, a Kannur native who received the Arjuna Award earlier this week, becomes the first Malayali woman to win a medal at the event; H S Prannoy remains the only other Malayali to achieve this.
