00:00 Yeah, I think that was a very emotional moment for me because as I said it was a much-awaited
00:05 win because I had two silver, I had two bronze and finally it is the gold.
00:13 Of course I am an aggressive player but after the match was done I was actually like I was
00:17 just standing there on the court and when the medal ceremony was going on, you know
00:21 the national anthem playing, me standing on the podium and you know the flag flying high,
00:26 it's definitely a moment which I can't express and only the emotions can speak.
00:33 After 36 years, Sai really played really well and he won a bronze for our country.
00:38 It's a very proud moment for the country and also a lot of players have been doing really
00:43 well and if you see in the men's circuit I think the top 5-6 players are in the top 20-25
00:50 and even in the girls' circuit after me and Saina there are a couple of youngsters who
00:53 are coming up.
00:54 So I think there will be a lot of boys and girls who will get a lot of medals in the
00:59 coming years and of course Gopi Surbhi, we are all really very very thankful to him because
01:05 he's been producing a lot of players and I think it's a dedication from the players and
01:11 the hard work from the players and as well as coaches and yeah talking about the government,
01:17 they've been really very supportive and I think a big thanks to all of them for their
01:22 support.

01:28 me and I think the support towards sport has been fantastic and I think it's really good
01:36 that they are doing a lot to the sports and coming to the government as well, they've
01:41 been really very supportive in every sport, not only badminton and also the sport, badminton
01:48 as a sport has been increasing and really growing up and a lot of people want to take
01:53 up badminton as a career and also I would like to thank sports authority and badminton
