NEW DELHI (Reuters) - P.V. Sindhu recognises how badminton has changed since she won the women's singles silver at the Rio Games eight years ago and says she needs to be smarter to win a third Olympic medal in Paris.

The 28-year-old, who in 2019 became India's first world champion in badminton, also won the Olympic bronze in Tokyo three years ago.
