This is fantastic news! But I wish the politicians wouldn't just show up for congratulations after the victory. Real support means investing in grassroots sports and providing better training facilities in Telugu states. Still, very proud of Sindhu's achievement! 👏
Great job Sindhu! She's such an inspiration for young girls in India. The way she dominated the court was magnificent. Also nice to see leaders from both AP and Telangana setting aside differences to honor a sportsperson. This is how it should always be.
What a victory! Straight games against Yamaguchi is class. Sindhu has been through ups and downs but she's a true champion. However, I hope the government doesn't just focus on popular sports. Badminton needs better infrastructure at the district level in both Telugu states.
So proud of our girl from Andhra! She's been a consistent performer for over a decade now. The Japan Open title was long overdue in her career. Hope this gives her confidence for the Paris Olympics. Jai Hind! 🙏
Excellent performance! But why do our politicians waste so much time writing such lengthy statements? A simple congratulations would suffice. Pawan Kalyan's post was basically a short story. Focus on actual sports development, not just photo ops and tweets.
