Saina Nehwal: Paris Olympic qualification tough but retirement is not on mind

The Hindu  

Saina Nehwal is aware that qualifying for the Paris Olympics will be “tough” for her but the injury-ravaged Indian shuttler has no plans to quit badminton and would do everything under the sun to resurrect her career. So when you are playing such high level players, you need a high level game,” Saina, who was named the ‘Race Ambassador’ for Harvest Gold Global Race on September 24 in Gurugram, said. My target is not to play Asian Games or Olympics because I have achieved a lot in those tournament and of course it could have been better if I would have been able to play, but let’s see how it goes.” Saina backs Sindhu on week-long training stint in PPBA Saina, who trained under former India coach Vimal Kumar in 2015-16, backed fellow shuttler PV Sindhu’s decision to train for a week at the Prakash Padukone academy in Bangalore to regain her form. The London Olympics bronze medallist feels the young brigade in women’s singles is lacking the all-round game required to succeed at world stage.
