“Perhaps I won’t have another chance to participate in the Olympics, but I have achieved this goal, albeit not so perfect.” She then added: “I just want to tell Tai Tzu-ying, you are great!”
Also in the post, she shared details of an encounter with Sindhu following the medal awards ceremony. “Later, Sindhu ran over to hug me, hold my face, and tell me: ‘I know you are upset, you already have performed very well, but today was not your game,” wrote Tai.
Tai said that Sindhu then held her in her arms and said that she “knows all about that feeling.” Sindhu had also lost a three-set battle to Spain’s Carolina Marín in the gold medal match at the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympics.
Tai said that Sindhu’s sincere encouragement made her burst into tears, “It’s really sad because I worked really hard.” She closed by thanking her fans for all of their support and encouragement.
