PARIS (Reuters) - Like all Olympians, India's PV Sindhu is under tremendous pressure to perform -- but she is learning how to deal with the toll that takes on her mind as well as her body.

Sindhu told Reuters in January that she needs to be 100% in Paris, physically, mentally and tactically. In the women's singles, she will face tough competition from the likes of Tokyo gold medallist Chen Yufei and world number one An Se Young of South Korea.
