“You were complete pain on court,” PV Sindhu to Carolina Marin after her retirement

Published by Webster

PV Sindhu penned an emotional note on social media as her long-time rival and the 2016 Rio Olympics gold medallist Carolina Marin announced retirement from badminton on Thursday. “Some rivals become part of your journey forever. Carolina was one of them,” wrote Sindhu. “We first played each other when we were 15 or 16 year old girls in the Maldives, and from then on we went on to share so many battles,” she added. Sindhu and Marin faced off 18 times on the BWF World Tour Circuit, with the Indian winning only six matches. It was against the aggressive Spaniard that Sindhu had lost the 2016 Rio Olympics gold medal match and the 2018 BWF World Championships Final. “To be honest, you were also a complete pain on court,” wrote Sindhu. “The constant shouting, the intensity, the little tricks, they would get to anyone. But your skill, speed and fighting spirit were second to none. “People remember the big matches and even the ugly spat we had in that third set over picking the shuttle. …

Carolina Marin retires: The Spanish trailblazer who hated finishing second, was unapologetically aggressive and took on Asian dominance | Badminton News

Published by Parlour News

Carolina Marin bit into gold medals – one Olympics and three at World Championships – like they were chocolate coins. Akane Yamaguchi spent the whole 2018 World Championships prize ceremony, agape at the crunched medal. Marin went belligerent in court battles with the same unapologetic aura that radiated in her beaming podium snapshots after her wins. CM emceed her own coronations, making badminton aggression an acoustic of her own. Pictures of Marin gently trotting on horseback had been staples on her social shares in recent years. But the great Gallop of Huelva in Spain, badminton’s unstoppable steed when in her pomp, finally called time on her career – and she was specific in mentioning ‘professional career’, so recreational players beware. A fortnight ago, she was successfully putting in a tough plyometrics session, giving the kettleball a good go, but the fourth surgery on her knees meant a wrap on a 14-year-long top-flight international career. Marin abhorred second place – her only silver significant medal coming in the 2023 World Championships, after golds in 2014, ’15 …

3 min readMar 26, 2026 08:23 PM IST Carolina Marin, easily the most successful singles women shuttler, coming from unheralded Spain, announced her retirement with a short, crisp, emotional Social media post. “My path ends here. Thank you all, because you’ve also been part of it. In this new chapter, I will carry with me the values that have guided me so far, and I will try to give back to society everything it has given me over the years. It has been a wonderful journey ♥️” Marin announced on Thursday. The 2016 Olympic champion, who also won three World titles, two at the expense of Indians, had been battling with recurrent knee problems. The last instance made yet another comeback difficult. It must be remembered that she endured two knee surgeries before almost reaching finals of the Paris Olympics in 2024, when she led He Bingjiao in the semis. Twice her frenetic game where she chased down shuttles with great speed and vim, saw her collapse on the court, as she was never short …

Carolina Marin steps back to heal, a brave move in a relentless career | Badminton News

There were many Olympic champions before her – dominant champions too – and there will be many after Carolina Marin. The 2016 Rio Olympics title will hardly be forgotten, especially by Indians who were happy to land their own greatest medal, but the joy tinted with a regret of missing gold. But nobody could’ve anticipated – not the least Marin – that she would turn the Olympic gold, the conventional culmination of a career, an apogee almost, into just the start point of a jaw-dropping story, where even a failure leading to a subsequent comeback, elevates her legend. This last month, Marin announced that she would prioritise her health and well-being over everything else, after yet another surgery on her knee. She took to social media to say she hadn’t been feeling too upbeat, but it was not mere melancholy of a stuttering return to the sport. She had been in considerable pain, and it had begun affecting her quality of life. This surgery wasn’t a realignment of the meniscus aimed at launching a comeback. …

(REUTERS) On the eve of Monday’s inauguration of Republican President-elect Donald Trump, Biden delivered a final farewell from a state that holds special meaning after his commanding win in its 2020 Democratic primary set him up to achieve his life’s goal of being elected president of the United States. Biden spoke to the congregation of Royal Missionary Baptist Church about why he entered public service — Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. were political heroes, he said — and he thanked South Carolina for its support: “I owe you big.” Monday is the federal holiday honouring …
