Sindhu dedicated her win to her mother as the day coincides with her mother’s birthday. She also thanked her coaches Gopichand and Kim Ji Hyun and all her staff members for supporting her.

Now, the Indian shuttler has five medals to her credit. It is to be mentioned here that Sindhu had lost in the past two years to Okuhara and Carolina Marina. After three years of losing, the shuttler has finally bagged Gold in the World Badminton Championships.
