"The 17-year-old Anmol Kharb was instrumental in India's 2-2 victory in three close games. She discusses picking badminton, advice from Sindhu and coach Gopichand, and other topics in this interview. When the Badminton Association of India made the wise decision to choose senior national champions for the Asian Team Championships, Anmol Kharb was content to have the chance to compete against elite international opponents. But the 17-year-old has returned, both with the beginning of an enduring love for chocolate bubble tea and a historic gold medal for India, who defeated Thailand 3-2. The Malaysian miracle youngster, like a happy song before the depressing Indian women's badminton scenario ends, talks about her incredible past five days. Take-outs: What does it feel like to win gold and become the sixth rubber specialist in India? Anmol Kharb: I feel really good about it. I played the Indian team in the finals, to start.

That made the team's entire medal journey simpler. I was grateful for everyone's support and for reaching the semifinals. How did you approach the fifth and final important matches against China, Japan, and Thailand? Anmol Kharb There was no pressure; all I had to do was give it my all. For the first time, I was participating in an international tournament overseas, but everyone assured me that a win or a loss would not matter.What guidance did coach P Gopichand and PV Sindhu provide you? Anmol Kharb: ""If one point goes, stop thinking about it and just focus on the next one,"" Sindhu di would constantly remind me. Bolke, forget it, aage badho. Gopichand, sir, added, ""If point goes, no problem."" When rallies grew longer, I became a little concerned. I'm just a human, and I grew exhausted. He only advised not displaying your weariness to your opponent. Present a solid, upright posture as you confront the following point. You'll get the next point after that. That's precisely what took place. Why did you give up speed skating to play badminton instead? Anmol Kharb: When I skated, other opponents would frequently push me from behind. I became tired of having cuts and bruises on my foot all the time. It was indoors for badminton. What about badminton appeals to you the most? Who are some of your role models? Anmol Kharb: Hard-hitting badminton is my thing. I enjoy my own game the most. People frequently compare me to Saina di and comment on how similar our gaming styles are. I enjoy the game of Tai Tzu Ying outside of India. because of how dishonest it is. But I don't have enough time to practice and observe her shots so I can incorporate them into my game."
