Srikanth eyes elusive Asian Games medal, hopes to be third time lucky

The Hindu  

His form a bit wobbly, India’s Kidambi Srikanth is trying to iron out the flaws and hoping to be third time lucky, as he chases an elusive Asian Games medal in Hangzhou. “So for me it is quite simple because I have won medal in every other big event except for Asian Games and Olympics, both of which happen once in four years, so this is an opportunity for me to go and make full use of it this time.” Syed Modi remains the only Indian men’s singles player to win a medal -- bronze -- at the Asian Games. “It is such a crucial year, we really don’t have time to take things slowly, that is one of the reasons I am trying to talk to Gopi bhaiya, because he has been training me so many years.” The qualification period for the 2024 Olympics began from May 1 and Srikanth is currently at 22 in the Race to Paris rankings, behind HS Prannoy and Lakshya Sen. “Olympic qualification will always be there in my mind but at the moment I just want to perform consistently. “We haven’t done well as a team in recent past in Asian Games, we won bronze very long time back.
