PV Sindhu: ‘I’m going all out for gold medal at 2024 Paris Olympics’ | Badminton News

Two-time Olympics medal PV Sindhu is going for the only color she hasn’t won yet at the Games.
Speaking on JioCinema’s ‘The Dreamers’ series, the Badminton ace shared her big ambitions for Paris 2024, and how she was preparing for the same.
“That third medal at Paris definitely motivates me, and I am going all-out to get that gold medal. For me, the Olympics is where I give my 200%,” said Sindhu, who won a silver in the women’s singles event at the Rio Olympics and a bronze in the previous edition in Tokyo.
“I hope I can fulfil the hope of the nation and get the third medal because getting three consecutive medals is not a joke. My mindset is focused on winning the gold and this gives me a lot of motivation and confidence,” Sindhu added.
On her preparations for the summer games, Sindhu said “they are focused on putting in the hard work while being smart and focused on that particular day.
“The Olympics is extremely competitive, and all the athletes are at their peak. The top 10-15 players in the world are of the same standard, be it the likes of AN Se Young, Akane Yamaguchi, Carolina Marin, or TAI Tzu Ying. There are no easy points at the Olympics, and we need to play hard for every point we score against an opponent. Anything can happen at the Olympics; one small make can change everything,” Sindhu added.
The five-time BWF World Championship medal, gold, silver and bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games, and silver and bronze winner at the Asian Games is among the top names in the Indian contingent for Paris 2024.
Her form since clinching gold at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games two years ago has been a worrying factor. Having been on the sidelines owing to injuries and with piling losses since, the 29-year-old will be looking to get back to a podium finish on the big stage.

“The journeys in 2016 and 2020 were wonderful, filled with immense effort and unforgettable moments. As I prepare for Paris 2024, it’s a fresh start, and I have to give my 100% no matter what,” Sindhu said.
