Sindhu said she has learned from every coach she has trained under and is thankful to all of them for helping her improve with every passing day.

"I learned a lot from every coach. Every coach has different skills and different techniques. It's very important you grab as much as you can and utilize it whenever needed. I'm very thankful to each one of them. This time we've got enough time to focus on techniques and skills," she explained. Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Anurag Thakur on Tuesday felicitated PV Sindhu.

Speaking at the event, Thakur said, "PV Sindhu is amongst India's greatest Olympians. She is India's icon, inspiration and has caught the imagination of every Indian who dreams of playing for the country. Her incredible achievement - that of winning two Olympic medals in two consecutive Olympic Games will inspire a generation of budding athletes. "Her success shows how the Target Olympic Podium scheme of the government has nurtured our Olympic hopefuls towards a podium finish. Just before setting off for Tokyo Olympics, she had an interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and right after her victory he was the first person to call her and congratulate her. The nation of 130 crore Indians is thrilled by her smashing performance!" he added
