badminton were rapidly fading away. Having lost the first set 18-21 and trailing 0-1 in the second, <a class=\"profileLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SainaNehwal.OGQ\/\" target=\"_blank\">Saina Nehwal<\/a> would need to pull off something special to claim the medal. It was at this stage that in a bizarre twist of fate, her Chinese opponent Xin Wang suffered a knee injury that forced her to retire thereby forfeiting the match and the bronze medal to Saina. I remember wondering about what the Indian shuttler must have felt at that moment. Joy? Relief? Guilt? But there she was on the court, calm and composed \u2013 walking over to her hurt opponent to share some words of support before exiting the court with only the slightest wave as an acknowledgement to the supporting crowd.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-3d1dc3f519721e6da4e40171577f549b\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-3d1dc3f519721e6da4e40171577f549b img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-3d1dc3f519721e6da4e40171577f549b .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-3d1dc3f519721e6da4e40171577f549b av-styling- av-img-linked avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/mxxds\" class='avia_image '  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label='Rio Olympics'><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-6038 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-6038 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rio-Olympics.jpg\" alt='Rio Olympics' title='Rio Olympics'  height=\"484\" width=\"960\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rio-Olympics.jpg 960w, https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rio-Olympics-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rio-Olympics-768x387.jpg 768w, https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rio-Olympics-705x355.jpg 705w, https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rio-Olympics-450x227.jpg 450w, https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rio-Olympics-128x65.jpg 128w, https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rio-Olympics-32x16.jpg 32w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Fast-forward to Rio 2016.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A sporting spectacle, as grand as this, is bound to have its fair share of victories and tragedies. One such tragedy unfolded day before yesterday when India\u2019s <a class=\"profileLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/phogat.vinesh\/?fref=ts&amp;ref=br_tf\" target=\"_blank\">Vinesh Phogat<\/a> suffered a nasty blow to her knee during her 48kg women\u2019s freestyle wrestling bout with the Chinese Sun Yanan. Vinesh was ahead by a point when this happened but as the world watched her writhe on the mat, she knew that there was no coming back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As I was seeing all of this unfold on my live stream, there was something else that piqued my curiosity. How was her opponent expected to react to this? What happened next was beautiful although probably missed by most of the millions watching. There were no celebrations when the referee called Yanan to lift her hand and pronounce her winner \u2013 her face was a mosaic of pain and guilt. As the stretcher carrying Vinesh made their way out of the ring, Sun\u2019s coach motioned for her to help the convoy. Without hesitation, she picked up a bag from one of the officials who was carrying the stretcher and walked an injured Vinesh out of the venue. That girl in the red tee you see there? In the third pic on the first row \u2013 that\u2019s her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To both the coach who cared to impart such often overlooked values to his cadet and the 23-year old wrestler, you have my deepest respect and admiration.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
