She will now join Commonwealth Games gold medallist Sharath Kamal in the Indian contingent.

''Beijing Olympics for me is a lifetime gift and am going there to gain a good experience. I'll be playing among the top 50 creamy layer of the world, and I am not under pressure to perform because I'm still a junior and it's a senior level tournament that too the Olympics,'' Neha was quoted as saying by a website.

''Before Olympics I used to say that my aim is to play for India in the Olympics but now that I've actually made it, I am going forward to the Commonwealth Games in 2010 and the London Olympics in 2012,'' she added.
