Usha considers his Rome run as her favourite Indian performance
The starting block once flew off when Milkha Singh took off for a race. He turned and looked at the man, who had fixed it, in anger. But though the others had taken a big lead, Milkha still managed to win the race. P.T. Usha narrated this as one of the many stories her coach O.M. Nambiar had told when she was a 13-year-old at Kerala’s Kannur Sports Division. “There were so many stories about Milkha so I was very keen to meet him,” Usha told The Hindu from Patiala, ahead of Monday’s Indian Grand Prix-4, on Saturday.
