In fact, all Olympic bound shuttlers are, Jwala Gutta being the exception, says a report in <strong>Hindustan Times.<\/strong> To utter the \u2018O\u2019 word around them is strictly prohibited. The academy in Hyderabad where they train is like a fortress, with the staff trying their best to tell callers politely that Saina will not be giving interviews or come for a product launch.<br \/><strong><br \/>HT<\/strong> writes that insulated from the pressure of expectations, ace badminton player Saina Nehwal is leaving nothing to chance. Her father, Harvir Singh, still cannot believe that \u2018brand Saina\u2019 has become so big. \u201cIt is very difficult to manage now, it has grown beyond our imagination. I keep getting phone calls for interviews or invitations to functions&#8230;but this is not the time,\u201d he says, finishing off some paperwork in his office at the Directorate of Oilseed Research. \u201cEver since her early defeat in the India Open in Delhi (in April), she has worked very hard and the results are there for you to see.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe goes to the academy at 7.30am and comes back around 7 in the evening. Since her mother is visiting relatives in Haryana and Meerut right now, I get bored at home, so I also leave early for office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile another <strong>HT <\/strong>report says that Jwala Gutta\u2019s first day of training at the LB Stadium in Hyderabad, on her return from Singapore last month, was interrupted by TV channel reporters who wanted her opinion on the \u2018doubles trouble\u2019 in tennis. She points to a corner in the stadium, where a small room has been converted into a gym where all badminton players work out.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cI got this made, with a government grant and some of my money. Nice na?\u201d she asks. The gym indeed was cosy enough for the cameras to be set up. But something went missing before the shoot \u2014 the lip gloss. \u201cInsi please give me my lip gloss,\u201d Jwala asked her sister, even as the camerapersons waited.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t call her badminton\u2019s glamour girl for nothing. \u201cAbout time!\u201d she tells you if you ask how it feels to be a part of two doubles teams at the Olympics. After becoming the first Indian shuttler to qualify for women\u2019s and mixed doubles events, Jwala is certainly enjoying the moment of history she has created.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile India will be without a relay team at the London Olympics as they failed to make the cut in the IAAF list released on Tuesday, says a report in The DNA. The qualification period for the men\u2019s and women\u2019s 4x100m and 4x400m relays ended on Tuesday. With three members of the Commonwealth and Asian Games gold-winning women\u2019s 4x400m relay quartet \u2014 Ashwini Akkunji, Sini Jose and Mandeep Kaur \u2014 caught for doping and the fourth, Manjeet Kaur ruled to have retired by a NADA panel. <\/p>\n<p>Another <strong>DNA <\/strong>report says that boxer Vikas Krishan Yadav will draw on all of his skill, discipline and determination to return with an Olympic medal and fulfil a promise he made to his father. \u201cFather told me \u2018Get me a medal from London and I would not ask for anything from you again\u2019. I, too, have promised him to give my best in London,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saina Nehwal is currently in a \u2018no-media\u2019 and \u2018no-fan zone\u2019.
