On Monday, PV Sindhu added yet another golden feather to her illustrious hat by winning the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games (CWG) in Birmingham in the women’s singles category. Having won the bronze in 2014 and silver in 2018, Sindhu is delighted to win her first gold medal at CWG. “This win feels special because I’ve been waiting for this medal for a long time. I’m super happy to have finally done it. From day one, the aim was to play at a high tempo and be confident that I can do it,” the World No 7, told TOI after the game.
Indeed, it was Sindhu’s desire to win that shone through in the final that saw her playing with a heavily strapped ankle. As the nation hails PV Sindhu, Hyderabad Times decodes the mind of the champion to understand what makes her the undisputed queen of Indian badminton.
‘I LET THE PAIN OF LOSING MOTIVATE ME TO DO EVEN BETTER AND REACH GREATER HEIGHTS’
It has been a year full of highs and lows for the two-time Olympic medalist. Earlier this year, Sindhu looked like a pale shadow of herself after disappointing second-round losses at marquee tournaments like the German Open and All England Championships. But the ace shuttler bounced back quickly by winning the Swiss Open title in March. It was followed by bronze medal finishes at the Korean Open and Badminton Asia Championships in Thailand and a thumping win at the Singapore Open in the lead-up to the Commonwealth Games.
