Saina Nehwal Retires Due to Knee Injury

Saina Nehwal, a famous Indian badminton player, has decided to stop playing professionally.

She won a bronze medal in the 2012 Olympics and was once the best player in the world.

However, she has been dealing with a serious knee problem for a long time.

Her knee hurts a lot and doesn't let her train properly.

She said she doesn't need to make a big announcement because people will notice she's not playing anymore.

She feels her body can't handle the sport like it used to.

Saina's career was impacted by a knee injury she got during the 2016 Olympics.

Even though she came back to win some medals, her knee problems kept coming back and made it hard for her to train.

In 2024, she revealed that her knees have arthritis and her cartilage is worn out, making it very tough to train for top-level competition.
