Jwala Gutta will become the first Indian to qualify for two events – mixed and women's doubles – in the Olympics when the world rankings are out next week and the doubles specialist said she was delighted and hoped to bring laurels to the country at the London Games.
It would be for the first time that any of the Indian doubles pairing will get a direct entry in the history of Olympics when the world ranking will be freezed on May 3.
Jwala's women's doubles partner, Ashwini Ponnappa said, "The feeling has yet not sink in and when we come to know about it officially, it will sink in." Asked about her chances of winning a medal in Olympics, Jwala exuded confidence and said it is not impossible. "Olympic is special and precious for any athlete. When we could win the bronze in the World championship, I think it is not an impossible task to win a medal in Olympics. On a given day, if we are strong on the mind, probably we can win a medal in one of the events. "Me and Diju had reached the semifinals in China Open last year, we had beaten the world number two then and it is possible to win a medal in both category," she said.
