Sports League – Badminton News: Saina Nehwal is India’s pillar to win gold in badminton. If Saina manages to win gold in Rio Olympics, then the government will play a big role in her success.

Saina Nehwal is currently an Indian badminton star. But behind it all, it turns out, there was a very tough fight. Saina is now in Rio to compete for a gold medal.

Aparna Popat, a former Indian badminton athlete, made a statement regarding Saina's development.

“We have to see what Saina has achieved so far. “And it turns out there is quite a big environmental influence there,” Popat said as quoted by new indian express.com.

According to Popat, the government also plays a role in creating an environment that encourages athletes to train. So, skills alone are not enough. There needs to be a system that is actually managed optimally so that athletes can be guided professionally. Popat also said that the mindset or state of mind of the athletes also needs to be regulated.

Popat also responded to the new IOC rules, according to which each country can only send two athletes in the singles category. According to him, this new IOC rule could have a good influence on athletes. Indian players can use this opportunity to win medals.

Popat also gave predictions regarding the number of trophies Indian badminton athletes could win. At least one gold medal has been won. And for this task, Saina is of course the most suitable player. Apart from this, Popat also believes that badminton will be India's favorite sport at the Rio Olympics.
