Mumbai, August 1, 2021: It was a memorable evening for India's ace badminton player, Pusarla Venkata Sindhu at the Tokyo Olympics 2020. She has become the first Indian woman and second overall to win two individual medals at the Olympics after defeating China's He Bingjiao 21-13, 21-15 in the bronze medal match on Sunday.

Sindhu had won a silver medal in the Rio Olympics 2016 after losing in the final to Carolina Marin. Sindhu had earlier lost to world no. 1 Tai Tzu Ying in the semi-final match on Saturday. However, in the bronze medal match, she outshined her Chinese counterpart and becomes only the second Indian after Sushil Kumar to win two individual Olympic medals.



"It makes me feel really happy because I've worked hard for so many years. I had a lot of emotions going through me - should I be happy that I won bronze or sad that I lost the opportunity to play in the final?" the 26-year-old said after the match.

"But overall, I had to close off my emotions for this one match and give it my best, my all, and think about the emotions. I'm really happy and I think I've done really well. It's a proud moment getting a medal for my country", she added.

On this historical success of Sindhu, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi along with cine and sports stars took to social media and congratulate her -

We are all elated by the stellar performance by @Pvsindhu1. Congratulations to her on winning the Bronze at @Tokyo2020. She is India’s pride and one of our most outstanding Olympians. #Tokyo2020 pic.twitter.com/O8Ay3JWT7q
