The Prime Minister on August 16 called the Indian athletes for breakfast at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg which is the official residence of the Prime Minister.
In July, PM Modi interacted with athletes ahead of the Tokyo Olympics 2021, he had spoken about how PV Sindhu was barred from having ice cream before the Rio Olympics and whether she was doing the same this time around.

In her reply, the badminton star had said she doesn't eat ice-cream as much as she was preparing for big competitions.

"We had to control a little as I am preparing for Olympics. I don’t eat ice cream as much due to competition," she had said.

PM Modi in a lighter vein had said that he will try to eat ice cream with her after she comes back from Tokyo.

"If I meet you after the Olympics, I'll eat ice-cream with you," he had said.

India shuttler PV Sindhu created history as the first woman and second athlete representing India to win two consecutive medals, following her win at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

As per the Badminton Association of India, she is the only other athlete to win two medals back-to-back. The first being Wrestler Sushil Kumar who clinched his medals in two consecutive editions – 2008 Beijing and 2012 London.
