Two Indian boxers (who happen to be cousins) have each made the quarterfinals. That means they are each one win away from a medal.
Quoted: India's medal hopes in Beijing Olympics got another boost, with ace boxer Jitender Kumar reaching the quarterfinals of 51kg Flyweight category. After his cousin Akhil Kumar reached the quarterfinals by beating the World Champion, Jitender emulated his feat by beating Uzbek boxer Tulashboy Doniyorov 13-6 in an ill-tempered bout. "I dedicate this win to Akhil. He has been everything for me and I want to win a medal for him", said Jitender after winning the bout.

I love Federer, but I am happy to see Blake, the American, inch closer to a tennis medal. Now, I hope that Paes-Bhupathi defeat Federer in doubles!

They were once the best doubles team in the world, reaching all four grand slam finals in 1999. But, they're getting old now. Hope they can pull out a medal. So far so good, but their next match will be far more difficult (Federer-Wawrinka or Youzhny-somebody).
Quoted: Their impeccable on-court camaraderie betrayed no signs of a stormy past as Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi today inched closer to their first joint Olympic medal by reaching the quarter-finals of the men's doubles event here.

Raj Bhavsar's parents are from India.
Quoted: The last men standing included Kevin Tan, whose family is originally from China, and Raj Bhavsar, whose parents emigrated from the Gujarat region of India in the ’60s, and Sasha Artemev, who was born in Russia. And by some bizarre coincidence, these were the three best Americans on the pommel horse, the last of the six disciplines on Tuesday. Only in America.
