My medal is a present to Gopi Sir as he made it come true: Saina Nehwal
NDTV spoke exclusively to Olympic bronze medallist Saina Nehwal and the man who can take nearly as much credit for her win in London - coach and mentor Pullela Gopichand.
Saina tells NDTV that she has sacrificed a lot to excel in the Olympics, expresses her joy and says she has always believed that she can be the best player in the world.
Saina Nehwal's father Harvir Nehwal tells NDTV that he was sure of his daughter's win against world number 2 Xin Wang as she knew her game and strategy well.
Saina Nehwal took the Olympic women's singles badminton bronze in rather disappointing circumstances as her Chinese opponent Xin Wang withdrew with injury. The Chinese was leading Saina 21-18, 1-0 before a knee injury forced her retirement.
