'''Ashwini Ponnappa Machimanda ''' (born 18 September 1989) is an Indian [[badminton]] player who represents the country at the international badminton circuit in both the women's and mixed doubles disciplines. She had a successful partnership with [[Jwala Gutta]] as the pair has won many medals in international events including a gold medal at the [[Commonwealth Games]] and bronze medals at the [[Uber Cup]] and the [[Asian Badminton Championships]]. They were consistently ranked among the top 20 in the [[BWF World Ranking]] reaching as high as no. 10. Ponnappa and Gutta also won the bronze medal at the [[BWF World Championships]] in 2011, becoming the first Indian pair and women and only the second overall to win a medal at the World Championships.

== Early life ==
Ashwini Ponnappa was born on 18 September 1989 in Bangalore. She was educated at St. Francis Xavier Girls High School, Bangalore and at [[St. Mary's College, Hyderabad]]. Her father played hockey for India.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://results.gc2018.com/en/badminton/athlete-profile-n6018891-ashwini-ponnappa.htm|title=Badminton {{!}} Athlete Profile: Ashwini PONNAPPA - Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games|website=results.gc2018.com|language=en-AU|access-date=2018-08-29|archive-date=6 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211206024631/https://results.gc2018.com/en/badminton/athlete-profile-n6018891-ashwini-ponnappa.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> However Ashwini preferred badminton over hockey and started training in badminton.

== Career ==
In 2001, Ashwini Ponnappa won her first national title in 2004 in the sub-junior girls' doubles category. She also won the national title in sub-junior girls' doubles in 2005, and the Junior girls' doubles National title in 2006 and 2007. She won the gold medal in mixed doubles and the team events at the [[South Asian Games]] held in 2010. In the [[2010 Commonwealth Games]], she won the gold medal in Women's Doubles event pairing with [[Jwala Gutta]], making history by winning the first gold medal for India in the event. Gutta and Ponnappa became household names after winning the medal in front of home crowd.<ref>{{cite news |last=Rao |first=Rakesh |title=Saina wins singles gold |url=http://www.thehindu.com/sport/article830304.ece |access-date=15 October 2010 |newspaper=[[The Hindu]] |date=14 October 2010}}</ref>

Later on in 2011 they came up with one of their finest performances when she and Gutta etched their names in history books becoming the first Indian pair to ensure a medal at the World Badminton Championships. The pair defeated 12th seeds Vita Marrisa and [[Nadya Melati]] of Indonesia 17–21, 21–10, 21–17 to storm into the women's doubles semifinal before losing out to Chinese fifth seeds in the semis in London, thereby winning a bronze in the Badminton World Championship.

She participated in the women's doubles at the [[2012 Summer Olympics|2012 London Olympics]]. Ponnappa and Gutta lost their opening women's doubles match against the Japanese duo of [[Mizuki Fujii]] and [[Reika Kakiiwa]]. They then went on to beat much higher ranked [[Cheng Wen-hsing|Wen Hsing Cheng]] and [[Chien Yu-chin|Yu Chin Chien]] of Chinese Taipei 25–23, 16–21, 21–18 to register their first win in the group stages. Jwala and Ashwini missed out on a quarterfinal berth by a difference of just one point, even though they beat [[Shinta Mulia Sari]] and [[Yao Lei|Lei Yao]] of Singapore 21-16 21–15 in their last group B match, after tying with Japan and Taipei on the number of wins. Prior to India's final group game on Tuesday night, the World number five Japanese pair of Mizuki Fujii and Reika Kakiiwa had shockingly lost to Chinese Taipei's Cheng Wen Hsing and Chien Yu Chin, ranked 10th, 19-21 11–21. India lodged a formal protest with the Games organizers to probe if the women's doubles badminton match involving Japan and Chinese Taipei was played in the right spirit, following the elimination of medal hopes Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa but no action was taken. Following the Olympic Games Jwala went to a temporary sabbatical from the game. Ponnappa then partnered [[Pradnya Gadre]] for a brief period of time in 2013 and then re-united with [[Jwala Gutta|Jwala]] later in the year. At the [[2014 Commonwealth Games]], Ponnappa and Gutta won the silver medal in the women's doubles, losing to a Malaysian pair in the final.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://g2014results.thecgf.com/athlete/badminton/1014814/ashwini_ponnappa.html|title=Glasgow 2014 - Ashwini Ponnappa Profile|website=g2014results.thecgf.com|access-date=2018-08-29|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304222939/http://g2014results.thecgf.com/athlete/badminton/1014814/ashwini_ponnappa.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> On 29 June 2015, playing with [[Jwala Gutta|Jwala]], they won the Canada Open women's doubles title by defeating the top-seeded Dutch pair of [[Eefje Muskens]] and [[Selena Piek]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sports.ndtv.com/badminton/news/244597-jwala-gutta-ashwini-ponnappa-win-canada-open |title=Jwala Gutta-Ashwini Ponnappa Win Canada Open |agency=Press Trust of India |access-date=2 July 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304063333/http://sports.ndtv.com/badminton/news/244597-jwala-gutta-ashwini-ponnappa-win-canada-open |archive-date=4 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> She competed with Gutta at the [[2016 Summer Olympics|2016 Olympics]], but they lost all three of their group stage matches and therefore did not progress further.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/po/ashwini-ponnappa-1.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200418121420/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/po/ashwini-ponnappa-1.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2020-04-18|title=Ashwini Ponnappa Bio, Stats, and Results|website=Olympics at Sports-Reference.com|language=en|access-date=2018-08-29}}</ref> At the [[2018 Commonwealth Games]], Ponnappa was part of the Indian team which won gold in the mixed team event, and won bronze with [[N.
