In Badminton it was the discovery of a talent named Pullela Gopi Chand, that brought some cheer on the faces of Indian fans. Gopi Chand has emulated the maestro Prakash Padukone by winning the All-England title. Almost two decades back Prakash had made the badminton world sit up with his stirring conquest of the All-England crown and also the world title soon thereafter. In Birmingham the 10th seeded Gopi Chand defeated the Chinese Chen Hong in the final. After the All-England title Gopi has not won any major championships and there must be two things that should be worrying him. One, a lack of a player of like strength in India with whom he could meaningfully test his prowess. And two the new points system (seven-point game as against the earlier 15-point game) has not been to Gopi`s liking. But Gopi, who enjoys challenges would be back with fitting response to these challenges.
