My biggest goal is to get Sindhu back on the podium: Sridhar

PV Sindhu still has the hunger to succeed, and the primary aim is to help her regain consistency, says her new coach Anup Sridhar, who has been roped in by the two-time Olympic medallist on a trial basis following the Paris Games.

Sindhu, who returned from the French capital without a medal for the first time in three Olympics, has been training under Sridhar, a Beijing Olympian, for the past three weeks at the Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad.

“I spoke with Sindhu’s team a few weeks ago, and she has been training under me in Hyderabad since the start of this month. We’ve made significant progress, and in two weeks, we’ll head to tournaments in Europe,” the 41-year-old Sridhar, who also briefly coached Lakshya Sen, told PTI.
