“I had never won a match like this before. May be, the medal was written for me. I have always wanted an Olympic medal. I always wanted to see India`s national flag going up at the podium,” she said.After wining bronze she first waved at her coach P Gopichand, sitting on the coach`s chair, later she acknowledged the cheers from the spectators, most of them were Indians.
