Jwala Gutta

Dec 22: Jwala Gutta is all set to make a return to the national games, after having a very good rest to recharge her batteries, after winning the women’s double gold at the Commonwealth Games and her trip to Guangzhou.  The double specialists will now prepare to play the national tournament to be held at Rohtak from Jan 3 to 10. The tournament will help her to be ready to play the Malaysia and Korea Super Series, which is lined up after that. The nationals will be her very first major tournament after the Asian Games.

“Since past many months I have been playing continuous badminton. This has made me fatigue to play the same thing for a long period and due to that even the fitness level has been going down. So I decided that it would be better if I take a break from the game and rather concentrate on my fitness, both mentally and physically. During the break, I have utilised my time having rest and keeping my body fresh. Now I’m definitely sure that my fitness levels have improved a lot, since the Commonwealth Games,” said Gutta at function where the championship trophy of the tournament was unveiled.

As always Gutta would be hungry to win the title. Though, she will not have much tough competition here as she gets at International level, but she will be desperate to give her cent percent to bag the trophy. “Every tournament is much important for me and I will not take this competition lightly. I will play my usual game as I do at International level,” said Gutta.
