For P. V. Sindhu, the pain of missing an opportunity to have another crack at the Olympic gold medal now stands replaced by the joy of adding a bronze to her collection. In the space of less than 24 hours, the World champion experienced extreme emotions this weekend.
“After the loss in the semifinals (to Tai Tzu Ying), I was really sad. I was in tears but my coach (Park Tae-sang) said it was not over yet. Park reminded me that there is a lot of difference between winning the bronze and coming fourth. That really hit me and I started focusing hard on the match (against He Bingjiao)”
