A great achievement for Olympic badminton player Ksenia Polykarpova, who won the silver medal tonight (between Saturday and Sunday) at the international championship in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The 32-year-old Polikarpova, ranked 95th in the world, met in the final the American Lauren Lam, the highest ranked in the tournament and 44th in the world, and despite the close first set, she had a hard time against her, after losing 21:7, 21:13 in a match that lasted 27 minutes.
Even before that, in the semi-finals, the Israeli defeated Jenny Guy, also American, 19:21, 15:21, thus securing her place on the podium.
In the next year and a half, Polikarpova will want to achieve as many victories as possible, obviously, which will bring her more world and Olympic ranking points, so that she can enter the Olympic Games for the second time in a row after her participation in Tokyo 2020.
