Spanish badminton star Carolina Marín's bid for an Olympic gold medal came to a heartbreaking end as she was forced to withdraw from her semifinal match against China's He Bingjiao due to a knee injury. This unfortunate incident occurred after Marín had won the first game and was leading the second 10-5 before collapsing on the court in pain.
Marín, who has previously undergone surgery for two anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, appeared to have aggravated her knee once again during a crucial moment in the match. Despite attempting to continue by wearing a knee sleeve, her movement was severely hampered, leading to her eventual retirement from the game.
