Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday offered encouragement to C A Bhavani Devi, India’s first ever fencer within the Olympics who lost to the planet number three, saying she gave her best and this is often all that counts. Following her loss, Devi had tweeted that she did her utmost but couldn’t win. “I am sorry,” she said and expressed because of Modi among others for his or her support. The Prime Minister replied, “You gave your best which is all that counts. Wins and losses are a neighborhood of life. India is extremely pleased with your contributions. you’re an idea for our citizens.”
The 27-year-old began her campaign with a confident 15-3 win against Tunisia’s Nadia Ben Azizi but saw Rio Olympics semifinalist Frenchwoman Brunet within the next round, which she lost 7-15.
