Devendro's match has started. And he gets a warning for punching the Mongolian after the refree asked them to start.
Good start from him nevertheless.

Supratik · Post by **Supratik** » 04 Aug 2012 19:03

and the chinese world no. 1 is next

Hariprasad · Post by **Hariprasad** » 04 Aug 2012 19:06

One thing I noticed about Saina was lack of smashes. I don't know if it was part of the tactics. Nevertheless a worthy bronze medalist.

Bade · Post by **Bade** » 04 Aug 2012 19:08

I am not the one who says congrats,

but a big congrats to Saina. I am very happy for her. Yes the fittest wins, and takes the medal. Nothing to feel sorry about, I definitely do not feel sorry for the Chinese team for their loss.

If she had continued the game, Saina will have probably routed her in the next few sets.

Devendro Meets Paddy Barnes who was CwG 2010 Gold Medalist and 2008 Beijing Bronze Medalist. But Devendro is electrifying and has a huge suprise factor

Manoj meets Stalker who is Ranked 1 in the world

Rahul M · Post by **Rahul M** » 04 Aug 2012 19:09

have to say yihan played superbly y'day, the way she returned some of the supersonic returns was incredible.

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 04 Aug 2012 19:10

time was when we used to dhoti shiver at meeting any of the mongol/turkic hordes from the north in contests like boxing and wrestling.

I'm disappointed that she did not get a chance to do that. It would have given her a big psychological boost for the future.
