Yes, Anju who? We were tantalized by her promises when she made an impression at the World Athletics Meet. But, besides that...what the heck has she done that can possibly make us proud? She needs to have her priorities clear in her mind, before she makes such comments about a personality who has a far better image than her, all over the world. The Payyoli Express will remain forever as the Payyoli Express. That credential cannot be belittled or taken away from her. Anju, it would be wise if you stick to the task at hand, and concentrate on what you can do on the track. Your sarcasm will not do you any good...and it is also for your coach and husband to understand that you are not in the same league as the PE, at least at this moment. Do it! Then we shall listen to you...
RE:ANJU WHO???

Anju is just a fluke performer. She got the World silver when most good jumpers were taking time-off to prepare for the more lucrative Golden League. Anju is under pressure from her sponsors to get some publicity and being "negative" is her only chance now.
But look at Usha, After all her medals she's still a TEAM PLAYER. She does not want to hurt the chances of her nation getting a medal by choosing NOT to hurt Anju. Excellent Spirit! She's still a World Class sportsperson, a true Champion.
And finally, this news itself is published not because ppl know Anju, but becos ppl know P.T.Usha. That says it all.
Okay, now tell about your achievements..anju.. got a good body shape, got an average look,for a while there was a news paper to report even when you were pissing... got contracts of few advertisements,...apart from that silver, what the hell did you did for this country.. it was so so pathetic,your comments were so immature
Once the words are out, we cannot put it back. Sometimes, it is better to keep the mouth shut and pretend to be a fool, that open it and remove all doubt!
It is a fact that PTU has not won Olympic medal. That hurts us all, as she lost by a whisker. But to deny that she is not world class is rubbing it in, on the still sore wounds.
I always hail the achievement of PTU as she was a pioneer and was at least a giant in the Asian circuit. To compare her with world's top athletes is not fair as the facilities and environment are different. By the same token, I am sticking my neck out to a current furore. While Sania may come out not like a meek village girl (that we see only in some filmie themes now) her successes are due to her talents only. To compare her with others like Mueresmo etc is like pitting the women against men! Such is their physical stature. Look at Serena, and can Sania shriek like Venus.
PTU came at a time when we even our men just participated in Olympics and officials went on a jumboree. I saw once our table tennis team saundering in, but could not practice as the tables were booked by others! The official told me they managed to arrive just on time and the players can catch up on some sleep sitting in the chairs! PTU will have all these and more to regale about her adventures!
It is never easy to be a pioneer and Anju, please so not take your eyes off the target. Also, media pls, pls cut out the crap and concentrate on the basics.
I have never seen any player talking so bad to his/her senior. Its not at all sports man spirit. If he/she is your opponent then things are different. Proud, ego... these are the some of the best tools of this half or less success players.
All this is hyped up coz of media. India has no workl class athletes. Anyway forget abt any medal in 2008 Bejing Olimpics. No use. Send our Criket team there. lol
If sachin Cricket.. Then PT USHA is in athlet.. atlst in term of her talks..she really dont want to hurt any1.. only PT knows how was her situation in 80's.. where not much training..not financial support...n she did all these with her limited support from govt. n ppl.... look at Anju..ofcourse she got a bronze in world athlet meet.. wot else she earned?? nothing much comparing to PT.. now Anjua stop talk n show something in Beijing.. if ur able to come with a 4th place.. we can agree you..othrwise.. ur jst VEED (courtesy to HYDEN) in a JUMPING PIT..der is nothing else..kkkk... PT USHA.. we re with you.. we know wot you are.. n how grown n where your now... WE SALUTE YOU P.T USHA
Reacting to Anju's remarks, Usha said she would not want to hurt Anju now as that could affect her preparations for the Beijing [Images] Olympics.
"India is expecting a medal from Anju at the Beijing Olympics. If I answer to her comments, that will hurt her. I am not prepared to put her in such a mental state," she said.
-----Speaks volumes about ur character...Hats off PT!!!!
