Saina Nehwal wins bronze, London 2012

Nehwal’s Rio 2016 campaign is currently underway

India's former World No.1 badminton player Saina Nehwal is regarded as one of the country’s premier sporting talents, and in 2012 played out of her skin to progress to the latest stages of the Olympics. Rival Wang Xin of China withdrew in the pair's bronze medal match, giving Nehwal the third prize at the London 2012 Olympics.

It made her the first Indian shuttler to win an Olympic medal.
