Indian badminton star PV Sindhu shared an emotional post on social media on Tuesday.

The Rio Olympic silver-medallist missed out on gold once again when she lost to compatriot Saina Nehwal in the women's singles final of the 2018 Commonwealth Games (CWG) in Gold Coast, Australia.

In a note shared on Twitter, titled 'Dream — Sweat — Smash - Repeat​', Sindhu reflected on her impressive journey so far and how she intends to keep focussing on her next goal.

 

"One more down but many more to go! As much as I had given my all to this game, I am once again ready to roar for my next fight, to finish and win. This is my journey, the journey of a sportsperson, every feat accomplished is followed by zeroing on the next target. No loss is ever enough, neither one nor many to stop me from believing in myself. Every time I miss a return, every time my shot fails to clear the net and every time I hit it long — I remind myself, it is not done until I am done," wrote the 22-year-old.

"Standing at the podium, head bowed to receive my Silver Commonwealth medal at the women's singles event, the heart swells with pride, moments of struggle, stilt.. sweat flash before my eyes. For me victory only begins to sink when the first beat of national anthem falls on my ears and then it gets louder, so do the cheers from the crowd, that is when I finally breathe o.— Mission Accomplished! Marching down the tracks as the flag bearer of the Indian contingent at the Commonwealth Games this year, I felt rest upon my shoulders the hope and faith of a million. With every step that I took, I knew it was time, time to bring together my skill, stamina and most of all my spirit, the spirit to rise higher after every fall, comeback harder after every drop.

"From the moment of Get, Set & Go until my last smash, I sweat from every pore, using every iota of strength left in me because giving up is not an option. share the !earnings of some hard-fought wins, match. I seized back from the clutches of defeat — let nothing stand in the way of your dreams, let nothing pull you down, let nothing beat you. For within you lies the potential to touch the highest peaks and create history. Winning becomes a habit when sweating for it becomes an attitude! So, to all my countrymen and women, fans, well-wishers and badminton lovers who now tune out after having savoured a nail biting finish, know that I am not done. My journey with Gatorade to Sweat More, Sweat for Gold continues unabashed," concluded Sindhu.
