Chinese badminton star He Bingjiao is headed to the women's singles final at the #ParisOlympics after a dramatic semifinal twist! 🎉 Spain's Carolina Marin, a fierce rival, withdrew mid-match due to a heartbreaking knee injury during Sunday's clash.
Marin dominated the first game 21-14 and led 10-5 in the second before her overhead smash went sideways—literally. 😢 The 2016 Olympic champion crumpled after landing awkwardly, later attempting to play through the pain with a knee brace before conceding defeat.
The emotional scene saw Marin tear up as her coach rushed to her side, while He—displaying true sportsmanship👏—checked on her opponent amid roaring applause from the crowd. Talk about #Respect!
He now eyes gold 🥇 in what could be a career-defining final. Will she channel this momentum into victory? Stay tuned! 🔥
