Cheer and celebrations are very less in - WALK OVER VICTORIES, nevertheless India got Medal. Chinese opponent was proving mightier than saina and could have shattered her dreams, BUT any way, now final result is in our favor.......Congrats Saina..

If you watched the match, it was clear that Saina's play made the chinese player get in to Injury.
She did not think twice before calling off her bronze claim

Chow Mow Kow.No place for chinese at rediff.It is a matter of time.Indian girls like Saina will make the Chinese fear Indian players.
she came this far. be happy about that. Our problem is systemic.This is Indian apathy to other sports at its best.Cant say how much hatred i have towards cricket now. we have given step-motherly treatment to every other sports. the money coming into cricket if we used to groom people to go into other sports we would have done better. Cricketers travel in first class planes while footballers travel in reserved compartments in train. that is the irony of india

Cricket was invented by the Englishmen for standing in the sun in their cold country to get a tan and warm their bodies. Nobody except the people in the Indian sub-continent take cricket seriously. Cricket is value for money since one can watch it from dawn to dusk.All these other games are hopeless since they end fast.
Games like tennis,badminton and football need a lot of running around.Why play them when there is a 'beautiful' game where one can just stand and score.And run once in a while.And fortunately,this 'beautiful'game is not played by most of the world.
So relax and enjoy cricket.Forget about other games,olympics etc.and live like the proverbial frogs in the well.
Mera bharat mahaan !! Lazy cricket(played by 10 countries)and similar games like golf,kabaddi,khoko,sack race etc.needed for india win in olympics.

She really desereved a win.We can take this win in this way also,she may have been down in points,But saina was better than her chinese opponent in her physical fittness.
