I should not think that I have to win every match: PV Sindhu

TIL Desk Sports/ Rio Games silver medalist P V Sindhu says her performance at the Olympics has helped her to deal with failures and she realises now that she needs to work harder to win medals at big-ticket events like the World Championship and All England.

“Olympics has changed something inside me. At the Olympics I played against the seeded players and I realised that they will also feel bad losing against a lower ranked player like me, so sometimes people will get depressed but then they go back and work hard and so I also think in the same way and of course a lot has changed after Olympics,” she said.

“It is hard to lose for everybody. When you lose, you keep thinking I could have done things differently but at that moment you can’t do anything so it is important to let go,” added the 21-year-old Hyderabad, who had created history by becoming the first Indian shuttler to win an Olympic silver medal in August.
