Badminton is not a popular sport in India.
If it's not televised, there's no way Americans will know about competitive badminton. All they know is the back-yard thing.
What we do is nothing like the portrayal of badminton as a gentle game played in a church hall. Badminton can be fun and relaxing, but as professionals, this sport is our heart and soul and passion, and our games are fast and aggressive.
Badminton will gain momentum in a big manner after my win in Olympics. More players will participate in the game now.
I consider the All England as like any normal super series tournament.
I was a child badminton wizard.
I hope wholeheartedly that badminton will be as popular and respected as tennis one day.
Women's badminton has become so competitive.
