Saina Nehwal endured a rollercoaster journey in the 2018 Commonwealth Games at Gold Coast. From fitness issues to her father being denied entry into the Games Village, Saina had to endure plenty of distressing moments. However, all that stress went out of the window when she became the first Indian badminton player to win two Commonwealth Games gold medals. Following her victory, Saina said before the start of the 2018 Commonwealth Games, she did not sleep for two nights after her father, Harvir Singh Nehwal, was denied entry in the Games Village. I wouldn’t say it happens in China but in India if I lose, people start with ‘Oh Saina lost, Saina is becoming old, Saina should retire’.
