0 Kontrak USD 7,4 Juta Untuk Nehwal

NEHWAL, PERUNGGU LONDON 2012

Peraih medali perunggu Olimpiade London 2012, Saina Nehwal, pekan ini patut bergembira karena menandatangani kontrak sponsorship senilai USD 7,4 juta dari sebuah perusahaan film olahraga, Rhiti Sports. Dengan nilai kontrak tersebut Saina menjadi atlet India dari luar olahraga kriket yang berpenghasilan terbesar, atau boleh juga dibilang sebagai olahragawati termahal negara tersebut.

NEHWAL, BLOOMBERG TV INTERVIEW

Prestasi Nehwal yang telah ikut membantu reputasi dan mengubah pandangan masyarakat India terhadap olahraga menjadi alasan utama Rhiti Sports untuk mengikat kontrak pebulutangkis yang saat ini menduduki peringkat ke-4 dunia tersebut. Kontribusi Nehwal pada musim panas lalu di London juga merupakan momentum bersejarah bagi olahraga India . Raihan 2 medali perak dan 4 medali perunggu di London 2012 lalu adalah prestasi terbaik India selama ikut serta di dalam Olimpiade.
