Had I been banned, this medal wouldn't have come: Jwala

Jwala Gutta is happy and proud about her win at the Commonwealth Games held at Glasgow. The women's doubles team of Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa, who won gold at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, had to settle for silver in Glasgow.

But Jwala maintains she is both "happy" and "proud" because she proved a point to all her detractors, who recommended imposing a life ban on her for allegedly trying to stop her teammates from playing a match at the Indian Badminton League in October last year.

Proving her critics wrong wasn't really easy, but Jwala says she is happy to have made a statement.

"In spite of whatever transpired, all that I went through, I am happy that I made a statement and I am here to stay. No one can stop me.

"Getting a medal is not a small feat, irrespective of what colour it is. I have two consecutive medals at the CWG and it makes me feel proud. I hope my family and friends too share this pride with me. I want to thank everybody who stood by me and believed in me. I am grateful," said the shuttler, adding, "We won the gold last time, at Glasgow, we still managed to reach the finals and I am proud of that."

"We could have won the gold for sure, but it's part of the game. We got to learn a lot from all the players and our opponents," she says.

Talking about the finals, Jwala says, "We were very close and we did want to win gold. But it's okay. We have won three medals already this year. It's been a good year."

Despite the win, one can't help but wonder that had the life ban been imposed on Jwala, there would have been no medal from the women's doubles team at the CWG. "I am tired of answering people. But yes, if I had been banned, this silver medal wouldn't have come. And that's a reality."
