Ayush Shetty’s stellar run at the BWF World Junior Championships in Spokane, USA came to an end on Sunday as he finished his campaign with a bronze medal.

Ayush became the 10th Indian to win a medal at the BWF World Junior Championships and the eighth men’s singles shuttler to do so. India have won 11 medals in the competition with Saina Nehwal contributing a silver and gold in 2006 and 2008 respectively.

In a closely contested match, Ayush faced the tournament fourth seed, Alwi Farhan of Indonesia. The first game saw Ayush and his opponent locked in a tight battle, with the score tied at 16-16. It was at this pivotal moment that his opponent gained the upper hand, secured quick points and Ayush ultimately succumbed, losing the game with a score of 18-21.

With the momentum in his favour, Alwi took an early lead of 4-0 in the second game. Ayush displayed resilience, and managed to tie the scores at 13-13. However, he couldn’t maintain his rhythm, and conceded a flurry of points to his opponent, ultimately resulting in a 15-21 loss.

India’s S Sankar Muthusamy Subramanian had won the silver medal in the men’s singles in the last edition of World Junior Championships in Spain.
