London India's Saina Nehwal won women's singles bronze in badminton. Now she becomes only the second Indian woman to win a medal in an individual Olympic sport. She won as her opponent Wang Xin of China broke down with a knee injury after taking the opening game.
Wang, a former World No.1 and current No.2, hurt her knee when she landed heavily on her right knee following a jump smash.
She had it taped up and went back on court to smash a winner and take the first game, but collapsed on the second point of the second game, and promptly conceded.
The score was 21-18, 1-0.
The gold medal match, later Saturday, is an all-China affair between World No.1 Wang Yihan and No.4 Li Xuerui.
