PV Sindhu destined for gold at 2020 Tokyo Olympics

Deccan Chronicle  

Mumbai: Pusarla Sindhu will be a strong contender for the women’s gold medal at next year’s Tokyo Olympics but the 24-year-old’s recent World Championship triumph will also make her a target, India’s national coach Pullela Gopichand said. “So, of course she needs to train, she needs to evolve, she needs to add new thinking to the armoury and that’s very important.” While India’s field hockey team have won eight Olympic titles, shooter Abhinav Bindra remains the only individual gold medallist for the country of 1.3 billion, who are starved of top sporting success outside cricket. “Having said that, I think Sindhu has a good chance and hopefully will come with the better medal than last time.” INDIA IS NO CHINA Badminton’s popularity has grown by leaps and bounds in the country with Saina Nehwal’s bronze in women’s singles in the London Olympics setting a success path. “I think what Sai has achieved for men’s badminton and the men to actually win a world championship bronze medal is a good starting point to do even better in the future.” Gopichand, however, does not agree that India was badminton’s new China, which has been the dominant force in the sport for decades.
