Other states should follow Haryana model: Saina Nehwal

"Haryana government provided great facilities to its athletes to prepare for the London Olympics. If other states can follow Haryana's footsteps, I think we can win 25 to 30 medals at Rio in 2016," Saina said on the sidelines of a function organised by Haryana government for their Olympians.

The state government had promised Rs 2.5 crore each for gold medal winner, Rs 1.5 crore for silver and Rs 1 crore for bronze medal winner at the London Games.

"It feels great to be honoured in front of my own people. I would like to thank the state government for this. I will try to bring more glory for the country," a jubiliant Yogeshwar said.

Real estate company DLF Ltd presented cars to all 19 athletes from the state.

London medal winners - Saina Nehwal, Yogeshwar Dutt, Sushil Kumar and Gagan Narang received a swanky Audi Q5 car each from the company. While rest were given Maruti SX4 by the Vice Chairman Rajiv Singh.
