“I know I can do better,” said Krishna. “This wasn’t my best, and I’m not happy with how I performed. My full focus now is on improvement and preparing for what’s ahead.”

The determined shuttler has already reached Bahrain for the upcoming Bahrain Para Badminton International Tournament, where he aims to correct the course and deliver the kind of performance he knows he is capable of. Training has begun in full swing as Krishna shifts his mindset to reset and rise.

In a touching tribute, Krishna dedicated his bronze medal to the defence forces of India, acknowledging their relentless efforts in safeguarding the nation. “This medal is for the brave men and women in uniform who are working hard, day and night, to protect our country. Their courage motivates me to keep fighting on court.”

With the Bahrain tournament on the horizon, Krishna Nagar is focused, fired up, and ready to reclaim his rhythm on the international circuit.
