India's ace women's badminton player Saina Nehwal is very skillful and has the potential to win a medal at this year's London Olympics, provided she continues to work hard, feels World No. 1 male shuttler Lee Chong Wei.

"The ultimate goal of playing in a competition is winning; it is a desire of bravely pursuing the victory. Whoever is well-prepared, the chance to win is ready. She's (Saina) young and has a strong skill, she has every potential to win if she continues her good work," Lee said.

Two-time All England champion Lee is leading the world rankings for quite some time and the Malaysian credited his hard work for dominance in the men's arena. "In order to be the World No.1, I had to wake up every day at 5 am to train. Running, game techniques and footwork practices, physical training etc. It is a result that I have gained by working hard every day," he said. The 29-year-old will be in Delhi for the Yonex Sunrise India Open Super Series -- the last qualifying tournament for the London Olympics -- and the defending champion said he is looking forward to the event.
