Just hours after winning a silver in the Commonwealth Games , ace shuttler Jwala Gutta has slammed discrimination of doubles game in India, saying that singles players were given more recognition in the country. Gutta and her partner Ashwini had failed to defend the gold they had won in 2010 Delhi Games after losing 17-21 21-23 to Malaysian pair of Vivian Kah Mun Hoo and Khe Wei Woon at Emirates Arena . Gutta said given the lack of funding and support for the doubles format in India, it was difficult to inspire youngsters to take up doubles in badminton. This anger is nothing new, Gutta has in the past caused a stir by slamming the officials who run the sport on many an occasion.
