New Delhi, Feb 2: In a jolt to Indian hopes of a doubles medal at the Rio Olympics, Mathias Boe - Danish badminton player who is one of the world's leading shuttlers in the men's pairs event - has opined that India's premier women's combine of Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa will find it extremely difficult to pull off the vaunted feat.
Though chances of a medal win are high from the Saina Nehwal-led singles contingent, 2011 World Championship bronze medalists Jwala-Ashwini remain the only realistic hope for India in the women's doubles.
