Hounslow’s Rajiv Ouseph beat Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia to win a badminton men’s singles bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.
Ouseph lost the first game and was close to defeat in the second before storming back to win 17-21 25-23 21-9.
It came after Ouseph, the fourth seed and England’s only singles representative at the Games, was beaten in the semi-finals by Kidambi Srikanth.
“I was disappointed, but I managed to pick myself up,” said Ouseph.
“In the bronze-medal match I was down in the second, and I just thought that there is no point in saving myself.
“I was lucky to win the second; we both had game points. It was very tense, but I was happy to pull through.
“The momentum went in my favour, I think he was kind of down on himself.
“I just tried to keep getting points as quick as possible to finish the game, so I am very happy.”
