A country of a billion plus now has a new hero in a game other than cricket at the biggest games in the world.

Atleast for a few days more the attention of the sports community in India would be away from favourite passtime...Cricket...

Remember, its not the years that count, but the life in the years lived.

Rayz .. Its indeed embarrasn.. BUt mate.. thi sis the first individual Gold EVER.. and a gold after 28 years ( hockey- not individual)..

LOL.. now you know that size DOESNT matter..

Saina looks promising read below..she stormed in to quarters beating one who beat her in her last two meets.

TOI quote

NEW DELHI: Saina Nehwal, India's best bet in badminton, stormed into the quarters of the women's singles event at the Beijing Olympics.

Saina defeated world number five and fourth seed Chen Wang of Hong Kong in a three set thriller 21-19, 11-21 and 21-11. Saina overcame her higher seed opponent Chen Wan someone whom she could not beat in her last two attempts.

Saina faced a tough resistance in the opening set from her opponent but he prevailed 21-19 in the end. However Chen Wang kept her cool and made a fighting comeback to claim the second set 21-11.

Saina rushed through her opponent as she went for the kill in the decider to clinch the match 21-11 in her favour.

Why in the pic it seems the Indian guy won Bronze medal instead of Gold? He looks the shortest between the three medalists. LOL

As for joy and celebration on winning Gold. I'm actually relieved that India did manage to get one. Embarrassing that from such a huge population we are rejoicing the first gold on 4th day of Olypics. I wonder if and where the next gold is coming from. Tennis?

Hey the Chinese guy looks dejected. I read the story... I believe Zhu Qinan was the defending Olympic champion and he was close to tears for having lost first place.
