Today, I feel proud to say, we seem to be moving in the right direction as far as badminton in concerned.
At the 2013 BWF World Championship, our players have put up a great show and 3 of our players are in last 8 in their respective categories. Saina Nehwal and P. V. Sindhu in women's singles whereas Parupalli Kashyap in men's singles have reached the quarter-final stage.
This display is impressive considering that out of 16 players that made to quarterfinal stage, half are from India or China (5 Chinese and 3 Indians). Rest of them are from 8 other nations (Denmark, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, South Korea, Spain, Thailand).
Is this some kind of sign of India as an emerging badminton power?
I would like to say that I don't want to jump the gun. Other Asian nations have a much stronger pipeline and they have a lot of good players. But our players are seem to be not doing too badly in last 2 years. Our players have put up some good show and displayed signs of brilliance here and there. So I do want to say I have good feelings about future of badminton in India.
Here is congratulating India. Well done team! P Gopichand would be a very proud man today, and for good reason. Congratulations team, the whole training staff, management. Carry on the good work.
