National badminton coach Pullela Gopichand has congratulated star shuttler P.V. Sindhu on winning the bronze medal at Tokyo Olympics.
"While it is all due to the hard work by her and the team of coaches and support staff, I also want to express my gratitude to the support of Sports Ministry, Indian Government, SAI and BAI," said the former All England champion.
"Also thank Govt of Telangana for allowing the stadium for the players and great to see badminton win medals in 3 successive games," the coach added.
Sindhu went down fighting against against Tai Tzu of Chinese Taipei in the semifinal on Saturday. However, putting behind the defeat, she came back strongly to win the bronze.
