When PM invited PV Sindhu to have ice-cream with him
PV Sindhu became the first Indian woman to win two Olympic medals as she defeated China's He Bing Jiao in the bronze medal match of the ongoing Tokyo Olympics. For wishing luck to India's Olympic-bound sportspersons prior to the start of Olympics 2020, PM interacted with them online on July 13. Well aware of their preparations and formative years, Modi's conversations touched upon the making of their success stories and also some fun queries like the one posed to world champion P V Sindhu. 'There was a ban on eating ice creams on you during the 2016 Olympics, has another ban been imposed for Tokyo,' he asked to a grinning Sindhu, who would be aiming to better the silver she won five years ago. After her historical victory, PM congratulated her saying, "We are all elated by the stellar performance by PV Sindhu. Congratulations to her on winning the Bronze at Tokyo 2020. She is India’s pride and one of our most outstanding Olympians."
