NAGPUR: Playing back-to-back marathon contests of over an one-hour in a day restricted the movement of Malvika Bansod in the summit clash of the Italian International challenge badminton tournament in Milan, Italy, on Sunday.
The weary-looking Malvika went down to Chinese Taipei's Wen Chi Hsu in straight games in her second final appearance in any senior international tournament. While the 20-year-old lost the final 21-9, 21-11 in 27 minutes, she brought home her second BWF international silver medal.
