Was going through Olympic channel videos and I found this. Man o man, how much I miss badminton and watching the team play.
Nice to Know that World Queen is in constant touch with her closest Badminton Buddy Olympic/World Queen Carol and also her friend is her Favourite Opponent too ! I love their On Court Fight and Off Court Friendship !!
Olympic Channel's latest Post about Rivalry and Friendship of World Champions PVS and CM https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ol...marin-head-to-head-indian-badminton-olympics/ CM says their relationship is that of like Tennis Legends Rafael Nadal and Roger Fedrer..Whereas PVS agrees that she shares a good friendship with CM off court.
In our locality, one of leading news papers of India mentioned that Sindhu left National camp and left the country to London due to some family issues as well. I dont know in what context they written it, but it seems she left on her own without even her dad and Mom during this Corona period. Usually, she will be accompanied by one of her parents to any tournament being in India or abroad. It seems, she has some family issues as well.
World champ PV Sindhu quits Olympic camp due to 'personal reasons', lands in London https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com...ssues-reaches-london/articleshow/78758810.cms
'Gopichand didn't take interest in Sindhu's training' Link: https://www.rediff.com/sports/report/gopichand-didnt-take-interest-in-sindhus-training/20201020.htm The Olympic silver-medallist has been in London for the last 10 days and posted a picture with sports nutritionist Rebecca Randell of the Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI), her training base, on her social media page on Monday. A report claimed that Sindhu left the country "due to tensions in her family", a speculation she rejected. "I came to London a few days back to work on my nutrition and recovery needs with GSSI. In fact, I have come here with the consent of my parents and absolutely they (sic) were no family rifts in this regard," Sindhu said in a statement posted on Twitter on Tuesday. "Why will I have problems/issues with my parents who have sacrificed their lives for my sake? Mine is a very close knitted family and they will always support me. I am in touch with my family members every day." This was after her father P V Ramana told PTI that her move was a result of training "not happening properly at the camp in Hyderabad". Ramana claimed that the celebrated shuttler was not happy with her training at the national camp. "Her practice was not happening properly here. After the 2018 Asian Games, Gopi (chief coach Pullela Gopichand) didn't take interest in her training. He didn't provide a proper practice partner to train with her," he said. "She was not having enough quality practice and was fed up with the treatment," he claimed. Sindhu has been part of the national camp for Olympic hopefuls and was training with her Korean coach Park Tae Sang ever since Kim Ji Hyun resigned last year. Gopichand refused to respond to Ramana's remarks. "I don't want to respond to what her father has to say, if Sindhu says something, I will respond," he added. The 25-year-old later said that there is no issue between her and the former All England champion. "Also, I do not have any issues with my coach Mr Gopichand or the training facilities at the academy," Sindhu wrote. Ramana said Sindhu had informed the Badminton Association of India (BAI) regarding her trip to London and had also kept Gopichand in the loop "She had sent a letter to BAI last week about her trip, with a copy to Gopi...and since she will be there for at least eight weeks, she will be practicing with England team. So, she requested BAI to put in a word to Badminton England," Ramana said.
Yeah. Even I wonder. His father has different story, though. One thing for sure. Nobody will leave the Country just for 'Nutrition' and fitness purpose. Note: No Smoke without fire.
BSP's reply to who trains harder, who is fitter ? echos mediocrity /(at least to the level he plays in)/
Sindhu went to England for Nutrition and fitness but to me she looks less fitter now, also not completely convinced with foot movement.
