really surprised to see saina fold up in two straight games to lose to an unseeded unknown chinese, who does not rank in their first 10. india expects a gold from saina in the london olympics. our present IOA President has predicted & hoped that this time india will win 6-7 golds,one of them from saina. already TOI & other electronic & print media are forecasting that india with medals from different sports is an upcoming sports super power in the making. in totality it is being predicted that india could win from 18 to 20 medals.
And other day in an interview she was claiming that she is already seeing an Olympic medal in her hand!! All noise, no performance :) She is following the footsteps of Sania. As Rediff always reports, storms to second round and crashing out of second round.
There is nothing to be stunned by getting beaten by unknown Chinese in Badminton or TT. There is hardly any difference between their top three and top fifty.
