At the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Sindhu won silver in women's singles badminton. A silver means she reached the final and finished second; it is not a bronze won in a third-place match. The Rio result book records the women's singles draw and matches, and the Ministry's later Olympic summary names her medal colour. If a question offers “badminton mixed doubles” as a distractor, the event field immediately rules it out.
The result can be confused with an award year. Olympic medals belong to the Games edition and the event; government recognition may occur before or after. For a revision card, write “Rio 2016 / women's singles / silver,” then add the distinct line “Basel 2019 / BWF World Championships / gold.” This avoids collapsing an Olympic silver and a world title into the same competition. Medal colour, venue city and year should be learned together rather than as isolated numbers.
Worked example: Sindhu's Rio 2016 silver is an Olympic women's singles result. A question that says 'gold in Rio' has the medal wrong even if the athlete and year are right. Keep event, edition and medal on one card. A second Olympic medal came later, but that does not retroactively change the Rio medal colour or opponent.
Active recall: Which of Sindhu's three headline results was an Olympic silver, and where was it earned?
