She also thanked people who helped her throughout her journey to the Olympics.
"It's been a day and I still have no words to describe the feeling of holding an Olympic medal, it's always a dream come true each time. It's never just been a solo journey for me to get where I am, I am incredibly thankful to the people in my life who have continuously been with me through it all", she wrote.
She further added, "I cannot thank everyone, but please know that I am so incredibly thankful and grateful for each and every person who has been there with me and the journey does not stop here!"
Sindhu was in fine form during her run to the finals, defeating Akane Yamaguchi in the quarterfinal in straight games. But her four-match unbeaten streak run came to an end in a heartbreaking defeat to world number one Tai Tzu Ying in the semifinal.
