Saina Nehwal - the next IT girl of Indian sports

I know this is a Bollywoood blog, but I had to post about this brave girl.
Check out the pic of the following article - it has Saina Nehwal in it. I predict you will be seeing a lot of her in the coming years. She is an ace badminton player who has been trianed by former All England Champion P. Gopichand.

She did amazingly well in the Olympics where she beat the World Champion before falling to the Olympic champion in the quarter finals. One more victory (or is it two more) and she would have added to our medals tally in the Olympics.Unlike her almost-namesake Sania Mirza who hogs all the media attention and has nothing to show for her efforts, Saina is dedicated and is focussed on her career. I wish our sponsors spread their moolah to other sports especially badminton so that deserving athletes like Saina, Jwala Gutta and Chetan Anand also get some financial assistance.
