Breaking NEWS India Wins 2nd Individual Gold!
Wow! Just heard. India won their 2nd Gold medal at Beijing Olympics!!! Yeehaw.
Apparently, it is Sania Mirza in Womens Singles Tennis category. Hazy reports claim the reason for this is cos all the ladies pulled out of Olympics due to food poisoning from eating at Chinese stalls.
Question remains though is how and why didn't Sania fall sick? Maybe because she didn't eat food from roadside stalls as she wasn't sure if it was Halal.
Too many thoeries are flowing in and the initial report remain uncofirmed. Please update no sooner you have any.
All she cares abt is a lot of publicity! What a drama queen!
I dream of a better tomorrow where Chickens can cross the Road without having their motives questioned - Unknown

Yeah she must've thought smarter. Better to retire and blame it on heavy tennis schedule rather than lose and face the ire of media. LOL. I hope they don't spare her.

From rediff.com live Olympics coverage...
Sania's singles campaign over
Sania Mirza's Olympics debut lasted all of 46 minutes. The Indian ace retired with an injury in her first round match against Czech Iveta Benesova, at the Beijing Games on Monday.
Sania, who had lost all her three previous matches against Benesova, was trailing 1-6, 1-2 when she quit.
The Times of India , 11th Aug
NEW DELHI: India's top-ranked women tennis player Sania Mirza retired from the first round of women's singles event at the Beijing Olympics against Czech Iveta Benesova.
Sania was trailing 1-6, 1-2 when she retired. The Czech holds a 3-0 record in her previous three meetings, the latest being the last week's Stockholm where the Indian went down in a hard fought three-setter.
Sania has been battling with injury of late. The pull-out also put Sania's participation for the doubles event in doubt.
She will be teaming up with India's No.2 player Sunitha Rao in the doubles. The duo has paired just once in the Fed Cup in Bangkok early this year.
Both of them were instrumental in defeating the Hong Kong pair of Yang Zi-jun and Zhang Ling to ensure that India remain in the same group next year.
...You can't mean what you say unless you can say what you mean...
LOL. I better not invest my money atleast today.
