Bornil Aakash Changmai on Sunday became only the second Indian shuttler to win a gold medal in the U15 boys' singles category at the Badminton Asia Junior (U17 and U15) Championships in Chengdu, after defeating a Chinese rival in the title showdown.
In the girls' U17 final, Tanvi Sharma went down fighting to Thailand's Yataweemin Ketklieng 17-21, 21-11, 19-21 in 37 minutes at the Chengdu Wenjiang Gymnasium.
Despite the loss, Tanvi became only the second Indian girl to enter the U17 final after Unnati Hooda, who played the final in Nonthaburi, Thailand, last year but ended up with a silver medal.
