Lio Zii Jiaof Malaysia:  It's a bronze medal that is worth its weight, it's as good as gold. That was the assessment of India's national badminton coach Pullela Gopichand of the way H.S Prannoy fought his way for the last two weeks despite severe back pain to win a bronze medal for India after a gap of 41 years.

Prannoy had suffered an injury during training a few days before the event and could not train for 10 days. He came to Hangzhou and secured a crucial singles win for India in the semifinals triumph over a strong South Korea in the Team competition. On Thursday, he scored a tough three-game victory over Lio Zii Jiaof Malaysia in the men' singles quarterfinal.

On Friday, Prannoy lost to Li Shifeng of China in the semifinal, to end his campaign with a bronze medal.
