Flying Sikh meets mentor after 49 yrs
Chandigarh, October 28 Mediapersons and a number of sports personalities, including former athletic coach Joginder Singh Saini, were witness to the historic reunion. Dr Howarth came all the way from Indiana, USA, to meet his most ‘obedient pupil’. He was the man who guided Milkha Singh before the 1958 Commonwealth Games on how to beat the then 400-metres world champion Mels Spence. Milkha went on to win gold at the event. Milkha remembered those moments with his coach, when Dr Howard spoke to him in his brand of Hindustani, “Tum Mels Spence ko mar do”. Dr Howard was confident of Milkha’s ability and is said to have told him, “You have the stamina to take on that world champion.” Seated on the cot where Milkha Singh was relaxing just before the 400-metre race at Cardiff, Dr Howard said: “Milkha, run your best for 350 metres and you will beat the world champion.” The Flying Sikh was his usual self, as he said, “Why 350 metres? I will run full throttle the whole way.” But this is where Dr Howard was planning his strategy. He knew that Mels reserved his burst for the final 100 metres. He wanted Milkha to build up an unbeatable margin in 350 metres. “The remaining 50 metres will be just a follow-up of the thrust built up,” the coach had guided Milkha. Dr Howard’s strategy worked. The Cardiff Games saw the world champion lose to Milkha in a photo finish. Two years later, at the Rome Olympics, Mels Spence defeated Milkha Singh in another photo finish to clinch the Olympic bronze. This particular Olympic race will be remembered as the first four, including Milkha Singh, broke the world record. Dr Howard was the first coach of the National Institute of Sports and was instrumental in guiding Indian coaches who took over after him. The coach could not have asked for a better and more obedient pupil. He admitted that it was because of the hard work put in by Milkha Singh that he won the gold medal. He says: “It is not just coaching. You have to put in a lot of hard work. And that is what Milkha Singh had in abundance.” |
