This was after she won the Odisha Open too in January, becoming the youngest Indian to win a Super 100 event.Unnati learned the sport at the Chhotu Ram Stadium in Rohtak, famous for producing top wrestlers including Olympic medallist Sakshi Malik.But her father Upkar was always passionate about badminton and wanted his daughter to take up the sport, which she did and made him proud."It was beyond my expectations.

"I follow all her (Sindhu) matches. I like her determination, her discipline. And to win two Olympic medals is no ordinary feat," she added."We are happy to have her (Unnati) for the Youth Games, I am sure she will be an inspiration for everyone out there," said the badminton games manager Sunita Singh of KIYG, commenting on Unnati's participation at these games.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
