India’s Pusarla Sindhu sent billions of fans into a frenzy by blasting through Japan’s Nozomi Okuhara to reach the gold medal decider for the women’s singles at the Olympic badminton on Thursday. With a huge contingent of home fans roaring “Go India, go!”, the 21-year-old Hyderabadi gradually wore down sixth-ranked Okuhara before charging to an emphatic 21-19 21-10 victory at the Riocentro. Sindhu will meet Spanish top seed Carolina Marin, who hammered China’s reigning champion Li Xuerui 21-14 21-16 in the early semi-final.
