‘The Hunger For The Game Hasn't Changed’: Sindhu Draws Strength From Past World C'ships Lessons
Sindhu's World Championships journey began with bronze medals in 2013 and 2014, followed by silver in 2017 and 2018 before she finally claimed gold in 2019. Looking back, she singled out the painful defeat to Nozomi Okuhara in the 2017 final as one of the moments that changed her approach.
“Having five medals at the world championships, of course, is an amazing journey, and each medal gave me a different kind of experience. Back then, in 2013, I had bronze; in 2014, again bronze; then silver, silver, and then gold. The transition was wonderful to see, and there were a couple of amazing moments. The first one was, as you said, getting a medal itself, which is definitely an amazing moment, but apart from that, the moment when I became much stronger was when I lost at the 2017 World Championships.
