“INDIA’S STAR CAMPAIGNER P.V.Sindhu has glorified India by being the first Indian sportswoman to win two Olympic medals including the recent bronze medal she won at Tokyo. The reigning world champion has already many firsts, and the recent win is like the icing on the cake. Her medal winning feat has made a stellar mark of India on the world map. Besides singles victory she has made India proud in double and mixed doubles as well in other national and international events.Her remarkable performance in Tokyo saw her marked strengths in covering the court, superlative stamina and equally impregnable offensive and defensive play. With this victory she will remain in the minds of the people all over the world like her seniors Prakash Padukone and Puella Gopichand to name a few.”
Yash Desai
State Sub junior player, Goa
“Dear P.V. Sindhu, my first memory of seeing you play was at an all India tournament in Andhra Pradesh. You must have been in your early teens then. Your mother accompanied you in every tournament you played and the expressions she had on her face after your wins was priceless.
“While I watched you play at Tokyo Olympics, I saw the same Sindhu that I saw a decade ago. Your fierce attitude towards the game has not changed a bit.
“You have made all the Indian badminton players/coaches/enthusiasts proud with the medal. We wish you more success in the future!”
