London Olympics 2012: Indian medal hopefuls

Shooter Abhinav Bindra is a bright Olympic medal prospect for India, especially after he won the first individual gold medal in the men's 10 m air rifle in Beijing.

In badminton, World No.5 Saina Nehwal is the brightest medal prospect. The 22-year-old, seeded fourth at the Games, is in good form after back-to-back victories in Thailand and Indonesia Super Series where she beat top-ranked Chinese players.

In wrestling, Sushil Kumar (66 kg freestyle) is back to his best, making the cut with a gold at the World qualifying event in Taiyuan, China, to add to his Asian gold.

Gagan Narang - who shot four golds in the Delhi Commonwealth Games - is also a big Olympic medal hope.

Among the boxers, pin-up boy Vijender Singh (75 kg) would be hoping to defend, if not better, his show at Beijing Olympics where he won a bronze medal.

India's glamorous tennis star Sania Mirza is also a bright prospect for winning a medal at the London Olympics, where she will play doubles and mixed doubles partnering Rushmi Chakravarthy and Leander Paes, respectively.

After much fighting with the AITA, Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna had their way. They are ready to compete as a team at the London Olympics.

Double-trap shooter Ronjan Sodhi, a World Cup winner, is also determined to make India proud by winning at least a medal in London Olympics 2012.
