P V Sindhu said she is happy to win a silver in the women’s singles badminton event after her gallant attempt to win a coveted gold for India ended in heart-break at the Rio Olympics.
“I settled for silver but am really happy,” said Sindhu moments after losing her final clash 21-19 12-21 15-21 against two-time World Championship Marin.
“I’m really proud about it. I’m really happy. I could not win the gold. But I really worked hard. It was anybody’s game. I really fought very hard and gave my heart out. When I came to final, I told myself just one match to go and you could win a gold medal. Give it your best, and I tried very hard. I feel it was her day,” she added.
