The Indian contingent is on a roll at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in Australia.

They created history by winning the first gold ever in the mixed team badminton event.

In the team is namma Karnataka hudugi Ashwini Ponnappa. We managed to talk to her for a brief moment, during which she shared the excitement and some details about plans for the rest of the tournament. She says, “I’m really happy. This is the first time we are winning a gold at the CWG mixed team event. It’s a huge confidence booster for all of us.”

The team is looking at this gold as an opportunity to better their record and aim for more wins at the tournament. “I sincerely hope that we get to do this again in the other team events too. But for now, the focus is on the individual events and doing well there as well,” Ashwini signs off.
