Fouaad Mirza was although rejoiced with the victory, but he was also heart-broken to not win the gold. He said,“ This (medal) is right up there and by far my biggest achievement. But I did lose a gold medal and that stings. I did lose a gold medal and that stings. I will take it on the chin and go back to the drawing board.
