SANTANDAR (SPAIN), Oct 30: India’s Sankar Muthusamy signed off with a silver medal after losing the men’s singles final in straight games against Chinese Taipei’s Kuo Kuan Lin at the BWF World Junior Championships here on Sunday.
The 18-year-old went down fighting 14-21 20-22 to Kuan Lin in a 48-minute summit clash.
The former world junior number one thus joined fellow Indians Aparna Popat (1996), Saina Nehwal (2006) and Siril Verma (2015) in winning a silver medal at the prestigious tournament.
However, Sankar’s defence couldn’t withstand the relentless attack of the Taiwanese. (PTI)
