Carolina Marin Suffers ACL Injury at Olympics

Spanish shuttler Carolina Marin suffered a heartbreaking ACL injury during her women's singles badminton semi-final at the Paris Olympics, forcing her to withdraw from the match while leading 21-14, 10-8 against China's He Bingjiao. Despite attempting to continue, Marin conceded defeat after losing two points. He Bingjiao advanced to the final but was defeated by South Korea's An Se Young. Marin expressed her gratitude to He Bingjiao for her sportsmanship and the tribute she paid by holding a 'Team Spain' pin on the podium. This injury marks a significant blow for Marin, who had already missed the Tokyo Games due to a similar knee injury. It remains uncertain whether Marin will be able to compete in the bronze medal match.
