Describe a famous athlete you know
You should say:
– Who he/she is
– How do you know him/her
– What has he/she achieved
– And explain why he/she is famous
– Well, there are a couple of athletes whom I really admire because of their sports skills.
– Here I would like to talk about one of my favourite sportswomen named PV Sindhu.
– She is an international badminton player of my country.
– She was born on the 5th of July 1995 in Hyderabad.
– Both her parents have been national-level volleyball players.
– She is tall and very agile which gives her an edge over the other players.
– She picked up the sport at very early age and won several competitions at the junior level.
– I have started following her game since the Olympics 2016.
– Now, I am a diehard fan of PV Sindhu and hardly miss her game.
– If I talk about her career achievements that are countless as she has won a number of international tournaments.
– Winning a silver medal in the Olympics 2016 was the major breakthrough in her career because she defeated all the top-ranked players to enter the final.
– In 2018, she won gold in the Commonwealth Games.
– Recently, she won her 2nd Olympic medal and becomes the second Indian athlete who has done this.
– She is the first Indian badminton player to become the Badminton World Champion.
– Our government also honoured her achievements with sports awards such as Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna and many more.
– I really like her game especially the way she covers the whole court.
– She is really famous for her powerful smash.
– In the latest years, she has totally dominated this sport which has made her popular all over the world.
– Moreover, in a country like India where girls are not supposed to be good for sports, winning so many medals is marvellous.
– Now she is an idol for many young girls in India who are following in her footsteps.
– Apart from sports, she is a kind-hearted person and has contributed to several social welfare programs.
– Recently, she donated 10 lakhs in the fight against Covid-19.
