Interview with Spanish badminton player Carolina Marín at India Open | Video

New Delhi, Jan 20 (EFE).- Carolina Marin has made a name for herself as one of the best athletes in Spain, a country with otherwise little interest in badminton, leading her to become a sought after face for Spanish firms in Asia, where the sport is popular and she enjoys the status of a queen.

Besides boosting badminton's popularity in her home country, the Olympic champion has also gained a huge following in a country like India, that worships sporting icons with extraordinary achievements. (Camera: MIKAELA VIQUEIRA).
