PV Sindhu's hopes of securing India's first-ever Olympic gold in badminton came crashing down as she slumped to a straight-game defeat against world no.1 Tai Tzu Ying of Team Chinese Taipei in the women's singles semifinals. As PV Sindhu's gold medal dream was shattered on Saturday at the Tokyo Olympics, fans on social media came in support and expressed their solidarity for the star shuttler for trying her level best.
The 26-year-old silver-medallist from the Rio Games, however, remained in the hunt for bronze and will be competing against China's He Bingjiao in the third-place play-off at Musashino Forest Plaza on Sunday. Now, RPG Enterprises Chairman Harsh Goenka who often remains active on social media lauded Sindhu for showcasing her determination during the semi-final match.
