India’s champion shuttler PV Sindhu is currently training in the town of Milton Keynes in England and is leaving no stone unturned to put on medal-winning show at the Tokyo Olympics next year. She believes that planning for the sports carnival is just as important putting in the hard work. And that is why she is looking to peak at the right time.
“My training is going really well and I am eagerly waiting for upcoming tournaments. I have got enough time to train and hopefully, I will do my best in the Thailand tournament. I am planning well for the Olympics and definitely, everybody wants to give their hundred per cent to get that medal,” she told ANI.
PV Sindhu further said that she would make sure to give her best in Tokyo. “I want to see myself getting the medal in Tokyo and I am working hard for it. I know it’s not going to be easy but before that, I have a couple of tournaments, starting from January. So, it is step by step; one at a time. For the Olympics, it’s definitely going to be tough but I will make sure to give my best,” she added.
“I think people are eagerly waiting to see us get back on court”
PV Sindhu reflected on her time during the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns.
“Initially, everything was shut and we were not able to practice but then after everything opened, everything is fine. We still have to be very careful and make sure that we keep following all the protocols. My lockdown period was fine because that was something new for us because we have never taken so much break and stayed at home, not going anywhere but I still managed to keep myself fit, and right now everything is fine. We started training as well and I am really looking forward to and excited for upcoming tournaments,” she said.
The Rio Olympics silver medalist is looking forward to the action on court. She further said that the presence of fans will be sorely missed. “It (pandemic) had a lot of impact on sports because we couldn’t play tournaments, we couldn’t travel and also, we couldn’t train at some point of time,” she said.
“Also, once we start the tournaments, there would be no spectators. I think people are eagerly waiting to see us get back on court. They can’t see us live which is a bad thing because we also want spectators and fans to be there to support us which is an encouragement and support,” she added.
