Their campaign began with a loss at the hands of South Korea&#8217;s Kim So Yeong and Kong Hee Yong. They then went down to Nami Matsuyama and Chiharu Shida of Japan 21-11 and 21-12.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This will be my last, but Tanisha has a long way to go,&#8221; said Ponnappa, when asked whether she aims to participate in the 2028 Los Angeles Games.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It takes a toll emotionally and mentally, I can&#8217;t go through this again. It is not easy, you can take all these if you are a little younger. Having played for so long, I can&#8217;t take it anymore,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>Ponnappa mentioned that Crasto and herself tried really hard for a win but it was just not meant to be.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We wanted to get a win today. As much as we would have liked the outcome to be different and better, the biggest takeaway I and Tanisha had is we had quite a journey, getting to in the Olympics. It has not been easy,&#8221; said Ashwini.    <\/p>\n<p>Crestfallen after losing all three matches, Tanisha also got emotional and said that Ashwini motivated her and was her &#8220;biggest support&#8221; in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She (Ashwini) has been my biggest support here. We had wanted a better result and held out heads high. She motivated me every time.<\/p>\n<p>Ashwini&#8217;s playing career began in 2001 with her first-ever national title. She formed a really good pairing with Jwala Gutta. Together the Indian duo won gold at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, bronze at the Uber Cup (2014, 2016) and a bronze at the Asian Championships (2014).<\/p>\n<p>The biggest moment of their careers came in 2011 when they became the first Indian pair to win a bronze at the World Championships. They eventually crashed out of the semis following a 21-14, 21-16 loss to Tian Qing and Zhao Yunlei of China.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/other\/can-t-go-through-this-again-inconsolable-ashwini-ponnappa-sheds-tears-after-early-exit-from-last-olympics-2024-07-31-944450\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : GETTY IMAGES Ashwini Ponnappa and Tanisha Crasto.
