India Lost Another Gem ? ?
We All Miss You Sir ????

Popularly known as "the Flying Sikh", Singh won four Asian gold medals and finished fourth in the 400m final at the 1960 Rome Olympics.

He was awarded the Padma Shri, India's fourth-highest civilian honour, in recognition of his sporting achievements.

Singh's wife, Nirmal Kaur, a former volleyball captain, also died with Covid earlier this week, aged 85.

Milkha Singh grew up in a small village in Govindpura in Punjab Province, British India.

As a young boy he saw his parents and seven siblings murdered during the Partition of India and the creation of Pakistan in 1947.

As his father fell, his last words were "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag", exhorting his son to run for his life.

The boy ran - first to save his life, and then to win medals.

Arriving in India as an orphan in 1947, he took to petty crime and did odd jobs for survival until he found a place in the army. It was there that he discovered his athletic abilities.

In 1960, he was invited to take part in the 200m event at an International Athletic competition in Lahore, Pakistan. He hadn't been back to Pakistan since fleeing in 1947 and initially refused to go.

Singh eventually did go to Pakistan. Despite the huge support for his main rival, Pakistan's Abdul Khaliq, in the stadium, Singh went on to win that race, while Khaliq took the bronze medal.

As Gen Ayub Khan, Pakistan's second president, awarded the competitors their medals, Singh received the nickname "Flying Sikh", that would stick with him for the rest of his life.

Even though he never won an Olympic medal, his only wish was that "someone else should win that medal for India".
