Saina Nehwal enters Badminton Quarters


Saina Nehwal

Even as India woke up to the news of Bindra winning a 1st individual gold in 10m air rifle shooting, as the day progressed we saw 18 yr old Saina Nehwal proceeding to the Badminton quarters at the Beijing Olympics. Currently ranked world no 15 Saina beat Hong Kong's world No 5 Chen Wang to ensure an entry to the Olympic Badminton's quarter finals, a feat first for an Indian woman in Olympic Badminton Tournament. Kudos to Saina! We wish her good luck in the course of the tournament.
