PV Sindhu’s hope to ensure a medal for India in Tokyo Olympics is still not over as she will be facing He Bing Jiao to ensure a bronze medal for India
In a heartbreaking development, India’s star shuttler PV Sindhu failed to defeat the World Number 1 shuttler Chinese Taipei’s (Taiwan) TAI Tzu Ying and enter into the finals of women’s badminton singles. PV Sindhu fought valiantly to keep India’s hope for gold alive in the semi-final. However, Taiwan’s Ying proved to be too good for Rio’s silver-medalist.
PV Sindhu’s hope to ensure a medal for India is still not over as she will be facing China’s He Bing Jiao tomorrow to ensure a bronze medal for India. Notably, if PV Sindhu manages to defeat He Bing Jiao in the bronze medal match, she will be the first female athlete to win two medals at the Olympic event in a row. Before Sindhu, wrestler Sushil Kumar had won two Olympics medals in individual events – Bronze and Silver medals in Wrestling.
Our ace shuttler @Pvsindhu1 will be in action in some time.
Let’s wish her all the best with our encouraging messages. Stay tuned for more updates.
