This is the gritty story of badminton star Pullela Gopi Chand, who brought laurels
to India by winning the coveted All England Championships 2001. The player for
whom losing was not an option, who went against all rules and conventions. The
champion who achieved the unthinkable by being awarded the Arjuna Award, the
Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna and the Dronacharya Award in quick succession. Yet,
seven years ago, a grievous injury at the 1994 National Games in Pune indicated
that his career was over even before it had taken off, that he may never step
onto a court again. But Gopi Chand conquered all his demons, and went on to
become not only a badminton champion, but an exemplary coach as well.
Pullela Gopi Chand: The World beneath his Feat, the authorised biography of Pullela
Gopi Chand, is about his rise from humble beginnings to become a star on Indian
badminton’s horizon, as well as his endeavours to produce more sports icons like
him through his one-of-a-kind badminton academy.
