Li delivers badminton gold for China with victory over Lakshya

China are used to success on the international sporting stage but have not had it all their own way at Buenos Aires 2018.

They made a slow start to the Games but have picked up slightly in recent days and they now have another gold medal to celebrate thanks to Li, who has just beaten Lakshya in the men's singles badminton final.

Li claims a comfortable 21-15, 21-19 triumph to clinch the Youth Olympic title, forcing his Indian opponent to settle for silver.

The bronze medal in the event had earlier been earned by Phittyaporn Chaiwan of Thailand, who overcame Yue Yann Jaslyn Hoi of Singapore.
