“Forget medals, win and loss are part of the game. You have already made a big contribution to Indian sports. For the past ten years, it was you who ruled the Olympics and won for India. Your unique notoriety has brought a lot of female players to the forefront. Their accomplishments are now indelible in Indian history.”
