Srikanth became the first Indian man to win a silver medal at the Badminton World Championships on Sunday (December 19) after facing a defeat in the finals. Loh Kean Yew defeated Kidambi in the final 21-15, 22-20 to clinch the game.
The match lasted for 43 minutes. "I cannot really think. At the start of the year, I just didn't think this would happen. I'm very very very happy," the Badminton World Federation's (BWF) website quoted Loh Kean Yew as saying. "Srikanth's a great attacking player, I had to prepare to defend well. It wasn't easy to handle the pressure. I just tried to calm myself. I managed to stay patient," he added.

The shuttler from Singapore explained how he prepared for the tournament following a dearth of competitions." Bangkok (Asian Leg) was a wake-up call after not having a lot of competitions, it told me I was far away from the top players," said Loh Kean Yew.
"So that motivated me to train and prepare for the Olympics. After that, I trained with Viktor (Axelsen) and gained experience and I'm very happy to achieve this," he added. This is the first time that a men's player from Singapore has won gold at the BWF World Championships.
