Published by Webster

P.V. Sindhu has moved from the court to the council table. The two-time Olympic medallist and 2019 World Champion officially assumed a full voting seat on the Badminton World Federation Council following her election as Chair of the BWF Athletes’ Commission for the 2026–2029 term. She made her first appearance before the global badminton membership at the BWF Annual General Meeting in Horsens after completing the required vetting process. It marks the beginning of a formal governance role for a player who has been part of the BWF Athletes’ Commission since 2017 and has served as a BWF Integrity Ambassador since 2020.

It remains uncommon for an active athlete competing at the highest level of the sport to simultaneously hold a voting position within badminton’s global governance structure. Sindhu, who continues to compete on the World Tour, now participates in decisions that shape the direction of the sport globally not as a consultant, but as a voting member. She succeeds Indonesia’s Greysia Polii, who …

Would I be removed from my command post immediately?,” she recalls. While she clarifies she didn’t feel “violated”, she was surely taken aback. “It wasn’t …
