‘Will fight to change colour of medal’

I am definitely looking for a medal here and hopefully, better one the bronze this time, I also want to change the colour, so will fight for that

Spearheading India’s challenge at the World Championships, Olympic silver medallist PV Sindhu says she is in good form and vowed to better the colour of her past two bronze medals.

“I think it has been two months since Australia Open, so I got enough time to practice. Form wise, I am perfectly all right, so I hope I give my best and do well,” Sindhu told reporters here.

“I am definitely looking for a medal here and hopefully, better one the bronze this time, I also want to change the colour, so will fight for that,” added the 22-yearold from Hyderabad, who got a bye in the first round of the World Championship.

Much before the Olympics high and the titles at 2016 China Open and 2017 India Open, Sindhu had created ripples in the international circuit when she had won bronze medals in the 2013 and 2014 editions of World Championships.

Sindhu will open her campaign against either Korea’s Kim Hyo Min or Egypt’s Hadia Hosny in the second round.

At the Olympics, Sindhu had lost to Spain’s Carolina Marin in the final, but the Indian extracted her revenge at the India Open final in April this year.

“It was important for me to win the India Open. It was good to win in front of the home crowd – there were a lot of people in India who couldn’t make it to Rio and were excited to be there,” said Sindhu.

preparation for the upcoming FIFA Under-17 World Cup, the main football pitch and warm-up area within the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (JNS) has been closed down.
