Giant-killer Gopi

Gopichand is all smiles as he holds aloft the All England cup. It was the first Indian victory in the tournament since Prakash Padukone, his coach, won the title in 1980.
"I'm really happy. This is what all badminton players work for. It has been my dream since I was a child," said Gopichand.
