India's hopes of a medal at the Paris Olympics 2024 rely heavily on shuttler PV Sindhu. The star shuttler repaid the faith of fans by winning back-to-back medals in the 2016 Rio Olympics (silver) and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (bronze). However, Sindhu now finds herself determined to add a gold medal to her array of accolades.
PV Sindhu asserted with confidence that she will leave no stone unturned in bringing absolute glory to India. In an exclusive conversation on JioCinema's 'The Dreamers', Sindhu opened up on her motivation as she looks determined to create history in Paris.
"That third medal at Paris definitely motivates me, and I am going all-out to get that gold medal. For me, the Olympics is where I give my 200 percent. The journeys in 2016 and 2020 were wonderful, filled with immense effort and unforgettable moments. As I prepare for Paris 2024, it's a fresh start, and I have to give my 100 percent no matter what," Sindhu said.
"There are a lot of experiences from my previous outings at the Olympics that I will take into Paris 2024. I hope I can fulfil the hope of the nation and get the third medal because getting three consecutive medals is not a joke. My mindset is focused on winning the gold and this gives me a lot of motivation and confidence," she added.
