Sindhu & Spinny do their bit for talent promotion
The Hindu
Proceeds from her car sale given to Suchitra Badminton Academy
Spinny, the full stack used car retailing platform with whom World badminton champion P.V. Sindhu has signed a partnership, is giving the proceeds from the sale of her car (amounting to ₹12.05 lakh) to support and train emerging talent at the Hyderabad-based Suchitra Badminton Academy, where Sindhu has been training for long.
This is part of Sindhu’s partnership with Spinny to promote and encourage young Indians in different fields.
“India has become one of the world’s top badminton countries — a position we will retain, given the many new stars training now. I have been practising at Suchitra Academy for a long time and I feel this fund will support young talent,” she said.
Asian Games champion Avinash Sable opened his season in the 3000m steeple chase with a silver in the Portland Track Festival, a World Athletics Continental Tour bronze event, in Oregon on Saturday. He clocked 8:21.85s. Asian champion Parul Chaudhary took the bronze in the women’s 3000m steeple chase in a season-best 9:31.38s. Former Asian bronze medallist Sanjivani Jadhav struck gold in the women’s 10,000m in 32:22.77s, a time which was a second off her personal best, while Seema was sixth in 32:55.91s.
