It was a first gold medal for the Spaniard, 23, who was told off by the umpire on several occasions during the match because of the level of her screeching.

The third and final game was locked at 10-10 before Marín went 14-10 ahead.

It was a gap that Sindhu could not bridge as Marín went to 20-15 before finishing off her Indian counterpart in an engrossing encounter.
