SETTING THE PACE MILKHA SINGH (1929-2021)

The ‘Flying Sikh’ put India on the global athletics scene with his splendid runs

- P.T. USHA

Milkha Singh remains a legend in the history of Indian sports with his run timings and has inspired not only me but generations of athletes. His excellence has no parallel. I first heard about him on joining the Kannur Sports Division school where my coach, O.M. Nambiar, would talk about Milkha to encourage us to improve our performance.
