PV Sindhu parts ways with coach Park Tae-Sang

The Korean guided Sindhu to 2020 Tokyo Bronze and CWG 2022 gold medals among others.
South Korean coach Park Tae-Sang and two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu have parted ways. Tae-Sang on his Instagram handle said, “ I came back to Hyderabad a few days ago. And I want to say thank you to everyone who worried about my father. To be honest, my father's condition is not good yet. So I felt heavy walking back to India.”
He further added, “I'd like to talk about my relationship with PV Sindhu, which many people have asked about. She has made disappointing moves in all recent matches, and as a coach, I feel responsible. So she wanted a change and said she would find a new coach. I decided to respect and follow her decision. I'm sorry that I can't be with her until the next Olympics, but now I'm going to support her from afar. I will remember every moment with her. I would like to thank everyone who has been supporting and encouraging me.”
Park Tae-Sang was the coach of the South Korean National team from 2013-2018. He then joined the India national team in 2019 and began coaching the men's singles players. The South Korean coached PV Sindhu during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games, where she won bronze and gold medals respectively.
In recent times, Park hasn't been present alongside PV Sindhu during her matches due to the health condition of his father. Sindhu, after a five-month injury break, has had a tough start to the 2023 season losing the opening rounds of the BWF Malaysia and India Open. She did not have a great outing at the Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championship 2023 as well, losing a crucial encounter in the semi-finals to Gao Fang Jie.
Malaysian star Hafiz Hashim has signed a two-year contract with Suchitra Badminton Academy where PV Sindhu currently trains. He will be assisting Sindhu at the All England Badminton Championships set to be held in march.
