Congratulations to Saina Nehwal for winning badminton gold, she outplayed P V Sindhu with her perfect movements, judgement and experience. Sindhu was very close, bad luck, she can do better next time. Both of them can inspire greatly all rising up Indian players.

Irrespective of their current rankings, Saina leads Sindhu head to head. I was quite sure she would win gold. And the silver lining - we also get silver 🤣

To ensure high performance in sports at world level,cant we simply follow Gopichand model: identify good veteran players w/ high integrity in every sport,lease them all facilities(for academy) for 15 years & if their students get int medal, renew it. Saina Nehwal #Sindhu #CWG2018

Saina Nehwal: From her fight with the IOA officials over her father's accommodation in #CWG village to powering India to maiden team event gold & winning the all-Indian singles final to win gold,, beating PV Sindhu. #CWG2018 #GC2018Badminton #SainaNehwal #PVSindhu #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/AzLR8iDyK2

I’m going to have to wonder if PV Sindhu’s ankle sprain just before the CWG had anything to do with her loss against Saina Nehwal.Anyway second singles gold for Nehwal after a gap of 8 years!

A seemingly more relaxed Saina beats a little tensed Sindhu to win the Gold. But what a final!#GC2018Badminton

Saina, five years the senior, has now beaten Sindhu twice in 2018.
