Sindhu won India's first-ever title at the world badminton championships when she defeated Japan's Nozomi Okuhara 21-7 21-7 to win the women's singles in Basel last month.
"I think it would be fair to say that she would be one of the big contenders for the gold medal," Gopichand told Reuters in an interview. While India's field hockey team have won eight Olympic titles, shooter Abhinav Bindra remains the only individual gold medallist for the country of 1.3 billion, who are starved of top sporting success outside cricket.
"Having said that, I think Sindhu has a good chance and hopefully will come with the better medal than last time."Badminton's popularity has grown by leaps and bounds in the country with Saina Nehwal's bronze in women's singles in the London Olympics setting a success path. The likes of Nehwal, Sindhu and Sai Praneeth are all products of the Gopichand Badminton Academy in Hyderabad where they have prospered under the watchful eyes of the former All England champion.
