Former world number one Kidambi Srikanth failed at the last hurdle and settled for silver medal at the 2021 BWF World Championships on Sunday. After becoming the first-ever Indian to make the men's singles final at the Worlds, the 28-year-old took a good lead in the first game against Loh Kean Yew of Singapore at Carolina Marin Stadium in Huelva, Spain. But he failed to keep the momentum and conceded the topsy-turvy first game 15-21. He however mounted a serious fight back in the second game and was leading 18-16, then the 24-year-old Singaporean stole the show with a sensational final push, with the championship-winning point coming from a push that landed just inside the baseline even as Srikanth watched the shuttle fly past him. Loh, who started the campaign with a stunning win over Olympic champion and hot-favourite Viktor Axelsen of Denmark, thus claimed the gold in his first attempt. He's the first Singaporean to win a Worlds medal. For India, Srikanth and Lakshya sen added a silver and a bronze to their tally, making 12.
