After two years of winning silver after silver in various international tournaments, making it to the finals but not being able to crack gold, Sindhu finally silenced the critics who\u2019d accused her of lacking the mental fortitude to be a true champion. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If anything, 23-year-old Sindhu\u2019s triumph is a fitting cap on a year where female athletes have defied societal expectations like never before, and forced naysayers to eat their words. Women\u2019s T20 cricket has made a mark, as much for the exciting gameplay as for the controversy surrounding skipper Harmanpreet Kaur when she excluded star batswoman Mithali Raj from the World Cup squad, citing poor form. Although many fans claimed that the move might have cost India the semi-final against England, the scandal also generated an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/mithali-raj-womens-cricket-harmanpreet-kaur-ramesh-powar-bcci\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">interest<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the women\u2019s game that we\u2019ve rarely seen \u2013 as well as a new enfant terrible in Indian sport. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raj, like her men\u2019s counterpart Virat <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/inside-virat-kohlis-phone\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kohli<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is a prodigious runmaker, having scored seven consecutive half-tons in ODIs, and led the Indian team in two ODI World Cups. And she\u2019s proven to be just as bombastic as Kohli: She has been extraordinarily outspoken in interviews, and in addition to her very public <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/ramesh-powar-womens-coach-mithali-raj\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dispute<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with Kaur, has butted heads with the BCCI over her captaincy style, even threatening to retire from the sport over the governing body\u2019s interference.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From Sourav Ganguly to Cristiano <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/cristiano-ronaldo-rape-allegations-me-too\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ronaldo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we\u2019re used to seeing legendary sportsmen with egos to match. But women players, perpetually expected to be earning their place, are rarely afforded the luxury of embodying the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/virat-kohli-india-australia-test-match-sledging-banter\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">brash<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> self-confidence and fighting spirit that make them so effective on the pitch. Regardless of what others say about her, Raj has made it clear that she sees herself as a woman who deserves to be on top. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And she\u2019s not the only one. In September, we saw the GOAT, Serena Williams, make a comeback to professional tennis after giving birth. A four-time Olympic gold medallist with a world record of 23 Grand Slams under her belt, Williams\u2019 track record of excellence is so consistent that her losses are more noteworthy than her wins, and her US Open defeat to newcomer Naomi Osaka was no exception. When she was penalised \u2013 many would say unfairly \u2013 for her coach\u2019s behaviour, Williams broke her racquet in frustration, and then <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/serena-williams-outburst-us-open\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">confronted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the chair umpire. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nor was this the only time Williams challenged the powers that be this year. When, at the French Open, she was instructed to wear the traditional skirt instead of her black bodysuit, specially designed to improve blood circulation following her pregnancy, Williams irreverently shot back at the outdated mores by showing up in a fluffy tutu. <\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p> More and more middle-class girls and their families, looking at the wrestling Phogat sisters from Haryana, and Assamese wunderkind 18-year-old sprinter Hima Das, are starting to realise that athletics are far from a waste of time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Closer home was the riveting return to form of fellow <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/women-sulu-mrs-maisel-bollywood\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mid-30s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> mom-cum-world-champion, flyweight boxer Mary Kom. On the heels of a gold medal at the Asian Women\u2019s Championship in November 2017, Kom followed up with a Commonwealth gold last April. In November she won her sixth World Championship, and proved that the 2014 biopic about her life was wildly premature. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, this is a typical example of how quickly we write women athletes off before their time. After all, few people expected that gymnast Dipa Karmakar would come back from a horrific knee injury to vault her way to a gold in the Artistic Gymnastic World Challenge Cup in July, and make Indian history in the process; even fewer would have said, at this time last year, that women\u2019s cricket could inspire fans as ardent as any <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/arjun-tendulkar-sachin-cricket-nepotism\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tendulkar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> worshipper, or that new mothers would be the greatest sports stars of 2018. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Little wonder, then, that women going above and beyond in sports, making up for lost time by smashing old records and setting new ones, stoking the pride and excitement of the nation, has become almost commonplace. More and more middle-class girls and their families, looking at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/series\/invisibles\/dangal-aamir-khan-india-goonga-pehelwan-virender-singh\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wrestling<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Phogat sisters from Haryana, and Assamese <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/why-do-indians-love-the-idea-of-struggle\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wunderkind<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 18-year-old sprinter Hima Das, are starting to realise that athletics are far from a waste of time. And, like Williams, Indian sportswomen have fought to change the status quo that has so often held them back. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From runner Dutee Chand, who compelled no less than the International Olympic Committee to change their arbitrary <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/asian-games-why-dutee-chands-win-marks-a-defeat-for-sexism\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ban<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on women with high testosterone levels, before triumphantly bagging a silver at this year\u2019s Asian Games; to tennis star Sania Mirza, who not only continued to compete after marriage, but is preparing for the 2020 Olympics after having a child this year, sportswomen are smashing the patriarchy on all our behalves. As 2019 brings the promise of bigger leaps and new achievements for women in sport, it\u2019s time we set the bar higher \u2013 not just for athletes, but for ordinary women who fight the same battles off the pitch. <\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women in sports are making up for lost time by smashing records while stoking the pride of the nation.
