New Delhi: Legendary shooter Abhinav Bindra has tipped P.V. Sindhu to win gold at the Tokyo Olympics next year, after the ace shuttler became the first Indian to win gold at the badminton World Championships in Basel, Switzerland.
“Winning a World Championship Gold medal is a fantastic achievement and a great day for Indian Sport. I am sure this will give @Pvsindhu1 intrinsic belief that she can go all the way at Tokyo. Wish her and her entire team the very best!(sic),” Bindra wrote on his Twitter handle.
Spain shuttler Carolina Marin, who beat Sindhu in the 2016 Rio Olympics where she had to settle for silver, and in the final of the 2018 Worlds, tweeted: “Proud of you girl! You’re gold! @Pvsindhu1"
Former shuttler Jwala Gutta, also congratulated Sindhu. “Hope this medal changes the attitude towards sports in our country and the deserving sportspersons get all the support to achieve this kind of a feat! Thank you @Pvsindhu1 for this! You only proved that with the right kind of support we can conquer the world,” Jwala tweeted. IANS
