India shuttler PV Sindhu’s eye contact with her South Korean coach Park Tae-Sang was the secret to her bronze medal triumph at the Tokyo Olympics on Sunday. Sindhu beat China’s He Bing Jiao 21-13, 21-15 to become the only Indian woman to win two individual Olympic medals (adding to her 2016 Rio Olympics silver).
Sindhu, 26, also revealed how Park motivated her following her disappointing 18-21, 12-21 defeat to World No. 1 Tai Tzu Ying of the Chinese Taipei in the semi-
finals on Saturday.
