London Olympics - Medal Tally Day 10

Dramatic win to Saina Nehwal in the Bronze Medal Match on Saturday. But seeing the way she was recovering in the first set(18-21) showed she could have beaten her Chinese opponent in the match. She truly deserved a medal for her performance and dedication in the whole tournament. 

She has made India proud and she is a true inspiration to the coming generation. Know more about Saina here Shuttle Queen Of India

London Olympics - Medal Tally Day 8

A big day for India! While we saw Badminton sensation Saina Nehwal loose yet again to the Chinese and archer Joydeep Karmakar just missing the Bronze, Vijay Kumar clinched a Silver medal in the 25m rapid fire pistol event. 


An Army sharp shooter, 26 year old Vijay Kumar fought a thrilling battle to give India the second medal in the London Olympics. This medal came at a point when we had lost hopes for medals from the so called favorite contestants of Indian Contingent. We still have hopes from Sain Nehwal for the Bronze medal and in athletics apart from Boxing and Tennis.
