2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in Australia - PV Sindhu to be India’s flag-bearer

The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has chosen PV Sindhu as the flag-bearer of the Indian contingent for the opening ceremony of the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.

The IOA, it is learnt, picked the 22-year-old Rio Games silver medalist ahead of Mary Kom and Saina Nehwal, who were also in contention, because of ‘better colour of the medal at the Olympics’ and her consistent performances in the last few years.

The opening ceremony will be held at the Carrara Stadium in Gold Coast on April04,2018
