Heartbroken after losing the Olympics women&#39;s singles badminton final, world number one Tai Tzu Ying revealed that Sindhu&#39;s words of encouragement after the medal ceremony touched her so deeply that tears came to her eyes.</p>
<p>
Sindhu&rsquo;s grand hearted gesture came after she had herself lost to Tai Tzu in the quarter final match and had to eventually settle for a bronze.</p>
<p>
Taiwan&rsquo;s badminton star Tai took to Instagram to express her appreciation of Sindhu&rsquo;s sincere encouragement when she needed it most.</p>
<p>
&ldquo;After the match, I was satisfied with my performance. Later Sindhu ran over and hugged me, held my face, and told me: I know you&#39;re uncomfortable and you&#39;ve been very good, but today isn&#39;t your day. Then she held me in her arms and said she knows all about it,&rdquo; Tai Tzu wrote on her Instagram account.</p>

&ldquo;That sincere encouragement, made me cry. I was really sad because I tried really hard. Thank you again for your support and encouragement. Thank you all for walking with me till now,&rdquo; Tai added.</p>

Five years ago at the Rio Olympics, Sindhu went down fighting to Carolina Marin of Spain in the final to settle for a silver and she could perhaps see what was going on in her Tai&rsquo;s mind.</p>

On Saturday, Tai Tzu had defeated Sindhu, the reigning world champion, 21-18, 21-12 in the semi-finals, dashing her hopes of securing India&rsquo;s first-ever gold medal in the game.</p>
