Sindhu defeated her opponent He Bing Jiao in two straight sets. She outclassed her Chinese opponent 21-13, 21-15 in the opening sets. The latter was no match to the talented Indian shuttler.

Sindhu is only the second India athlete to win medals in 2 or more Olympics. The first athlete to do so is Sushil Kumar.

“We are all elated by the stellar performance by @Pvsindhu1. Congratulations to her on winning the Bronze at @Tokyo2020. She is India’s pride and one of our most outstanding Olympians. #Tokyo2020 ,” the prime minister Narendra Modi congratulated Sindhu after her historic victory.
