Ο PV Sindhu αποκλείστηκε από τους Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες του 2024 στο Παρίσι από τον Κινέζο He Bing Jiao στον γύρο των 16 την Πέμπτη. Ο δύο φορές Ολυμπιονίκης από την Ινδία έχασε τον αγώνα με 19-21, 14-21.
Two-time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu failed to win a medal for India after losing to China’s He Binjiao in the Round of 16. With this loss, Sindhu’s journey at the Paris Olympics has come to an end.
It was a tough pill to swallow for Sindhu, who had won medals in both of the previous Olympics and was considered one of India’s medal hopes.
However, following the disappointing result, PV Sindhu clarified that she is not retiring from the sport and plans to continue playing. We may see her at the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games as well.
“This loss is one of the hardest of my career. It will take time to accept, but as life moves forward, I know I will come to terms with it. The journey to Paris 2024 was a battle, marked by two years of injuries and long periods away from the game. Despite these challenges, standing here and representing my wonderful country at a third Olympics makes me feel truly blessed. I’m incredibly fortunate to compete at this level and, even more importantly, to inspire a generation. Your messages have been a tremendous source of comfort during this time. My team and I gave everything we had for Paris 2024, leaving it all on the court with no regrets. Regarding my future, I want to be clear: I will continue, albeit after a small break. My body, and more importantly, my mind need it. However, I plan to carefully evaluate the journey ahead, finding more joy in playing the sport I love so very much” Sindhu said on social media.
Sindhu after the Loss
After her Round of 16 loss, PV Sindhu said, “I should have controlled my defence a bit better,” reflecting on the reason for her defeat. “Everybody worked hard, so we’ve done whatever we could. The rest is destiny. I don’t regret it,” she added.
“I kept fighting because you never know what can happen. Both of us were fighting for each point because, until the end, you can’t predict the outcome. It’s not easy to win or get easy points; you can’t assume the game is over.”
