IOA launches India's kit for Paris Olympics

Her unwavering determination and her love for badminton has seen her scale many uncharted territories over the years. However, her returns have been modest in the last seven months or so with injuries being the main reason behind that decline. But as she aims for her third medal at Olympics, she seems optimistic as ever. Admitting that it has been challenging, the 2019 world champ said she has learnt to be more patient and keep up the fight from recent struggles. \"It has been a challenging (Olympic cycle). I had to rest for a couple of months and get back on court. But I have learnt a lot from those experiences, being patient and believing in myself. To keep fighting every single day,\" Sindhu said in a media interaction facilitated by the Sports Authority of India, Indian Olympic Association and the Badminton Association of India. Sindhu has faced many shuttlers from different backgrounds with varied styles of play over the years. It's a must for shuttlers to constantly update themselves based on who's in front of them. \"The competition is high so it is not going to be easy (Olympics). This is my third Olympics but every time the game keeps changing and some of them are new players while some of them will be taking part for the second time. One has to be physically and mentally much more stronger/ smarter. These are the things that we need to keep in mind,\" the 28-year-old, who is currently training in Saarbrucken (Germany), said.
