Saina Nehwal Wins Bronze; India’s Third Medal at London Olympic

Indian ace shuttler Saina Nehwal won the bronze medal in the Olympic women's badminton singles event on Saturday after China's Wang Xin retired hurt with a knee injury. Chinese Wang was leading 21-18 1-0 when she conceded the match.

With this win, Saina becomes the second Indian woman to win an Olympic medal, after Karnam Malleswari's weightlifting bronze in 2000 Sydney Olympics.

This is India's third medal at the ongoing London Olympic, with pistol shooter Vijay Kumar (silver) and seasoned marksman Gagan Narang (bronze) being the other medal winners.
