Indian Olympic medalist shuttler PV Sindhu on Sunday reminisced on winning her first-ever medal at the top-tier multi-sport event, saying that her journey since then has been life-changing and celebrated the “spirit of resilience”, “the pursuit of excellence”, and the “courage to chase dreams.”
On this day in 2016 at the Rio De Janeiro Olympics, Sindhu captured a silver medal after going down to Spain’s Carolina Marin in the final of the women’s singles tournament. This was Sindhu’s first-ever Olympic medal.
“Seven years ago, I embarked on a journey that would forever change my life. Looking back, it’s hard to believe that it’s been seven long years since that momentous day when I proudly won my first Olympic medal in Rio. It was a Silver, a shining symbol of my dedication, hard work, and the unwavering support of my coaches, teammates, and fans,” Sindhu said in a post on ‘X’, formally Twitter. (ANI)
