Not the result we hoped for but the World No. 1 Tai Tzu Ying was just too good on the day. Sindhu needs to quickly get over this and focus on the Bronze Medal match. @WIONews

So far India has won three medals. Mirabai Chanu was the first one who got a Silver Medal in Weighlifting. Boxer Lovlina Borgohain has assured India of another medal and now Sindhu adds on to the kitty. Kudos to you girl!
