Rio de Janeiro: P V Sindhu said she is happy to win a silver in the women&rsquo;s singles badminton event after her gallant attempt to win a coveted gold for India ended in heartbreak at the Rio Olympics here yesterday.
&ldquo;I ended up with a silver medal but I am really happy,&rdquo; said Sindhu, moments after losing her final clash 21-19 12-21 15-21 against two-time World Championship Marin.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m really proud about it.
I&rsquo;m really happy. I could not win the gold. But I really worked hard. It was anybody&rsquo;s game. A day before a girl has got a bronze, it&rsquo;s me now. We have all played well. There will be ups and downs in sport like in life.
&ldquo;Losing one or two points. I would like to congratulate everyone. It&rsquo;s been a great week for me.&rdquo;
Sindhu also praised Marin on her Olympic gold. &ldquo;I also congratulate Carolina. It&rsquo;s been a wonderful week for me. It&rsquo;s anybody&rsquo;s aim to win a medal at the Olympics.&rdquo;
Sindhu said: &ldquo;In today&rsquo;s match both players were attacking and playing aggressive on court. One has to win and one has to lose. It was her day on centre court.&rdquo;
The 21-year-old from Hyderabad said bright days are ahead for Indian badminton. &ldquo;The future is good, definitely. There are many players coming up, and many more will succeed. Badminton is doing really well in India. In men&rsquo;s singles Srikanth lost very closely,&rdquo; she said.
