play/game are they famous for?
It was a historical moment. Indian Badminton star Saina Nehwal
became the first Indian woman to reach the semi-final of 2010 All England Super Series. She lost to eventual
champion Tina Rasmussen. But she won many admirers with her performance. Saina
with her feats has become the symbol of pride for the nation.
The best Indian woman player in badminton, Saina was born on 17th
March 1990 at Hisar in Haryana. Nahi Prasad, the coach of Lal Bahadur Shastri
Stadium in Haryana, recognised her talent when Saina was only eight years old.
It was at his advice that Saina was enrolled as a summer trainee. As a trainee,
she travelled nearly 50 km a day in order to accommodate the training schedule
from her house to the stadium. This was richly awarded.
Saina won International recognition when she became the first
Indian woman to win a 4-star tournament 'The Philippines Open in 2006. The same
year also saw Saina as runner up at the 2006 BWF World Junior Championship. She
became the first
Indian woman to reach the Quarter Finals at the Olympic Games when
she upset world number five and fourth Seed Wang Chen of Hong Kong.
Saina has been renamed the Most Promising Player in 2008, the
first Indian to win a BWF Super Series title, the most prominent badminton
series of the world. In August 2009, she reached the quarterfinals of World
Championship. Saina Nehwal was awarded Arjuna Award the same year. She has been
signed up by Olympic Gold Quest to support her in fulfilling her dream of
winning the Olympic Gold Medal. Saina has been awarded with Padma Shri Award in
January 2010. Still India has a lot of hope from Saina Nehwal.
Before Saina, only two players have won International prestige.
They are Prakash Padukone and Syed Modi. They won laurels for India in
badminton.
