I thought Sri Ram Singh was even ahead before his injury made him a forgotten figure. Also, Milkha Singh in the 1960 (?) the Flying Sikh was a serious medal contender.
P.S. BTW, Rev Flimmy Iyer is trying to divert attention with a thread on Athletics....when the whole social media is fuming and praising and demanding new states in India...

Milkha Singh in the 1960 Rome Olympics. In the 400 Meters race, he looked back when they were rounding the last turn and that was enough for two guys to pass him for gold and silver.

He probably would have thot of running "back" to reach the "finish" line first....

which led to the urban legend that while passing him, they asked him, "are you milkha singh" to which he replied, "no i am relaxing".

i didn't have milkha singh in mind. of course, "closest" is a matter of opinion.indophile wrote:Milkha Singh in the 1960 Rome Olympics. In the 400 Meters race, he looked back when they were rounding the last turn and that was enough for two guys to pass him for gold and silver.

Re: a question about indian athletics
gowNDer, "gaining access" is a phrase i made up to describe the reason for the ingratiating behaviour seen here, most often by the middle-aged, balding uncals towards the aunTties. if you have any creativity or humour in you, make up your own phrases.Marathadi-Saamiyaar wrote:Jebediah Mburuburu wrote:of course, dear boy.Hellsangel wrote:Jebediah Mburuburu wrote:Jebediah Mburuburu wrote:q: which indian athlete came closest to winning a gold medal in a track and field event in the olympics?

How do old-aged, already bald Achachans show ingratiating behavior towards the Iyers?

Re: a question about indian athletics
meaning what? that line could be "we knead the dough" or "we need the dough." the pun is in the homophones "knead" and "need," and the different interpretations of "dough." the enjoyment of it occurs when one recognizes the other interpretation; it does not matter which of the two possible lines is used.Huzefa Kapasi wrote:i made a phrase! i made a phrase! outside a pizza hut shop: WE NEED THE DOUGH.Jebediah Mburuburu wrote:gowNDer, "gaining access" is a phrase i made up to describe the reason for the ingratiating behaviour seen here, most often by the middle-aged, balding uncals towards the aunTties. if you have any creativity or humour in you, make up your own phrases.Marathadi-Saamiyaar wrote:Jebediah Mburuburu wrote:of course, dear boy.Hellsangel wrote:

I think Achachan was feeling neglected in all this Telangana drama, so he started this thread.

i suppose you think that writing "jock" for "joke" is a pun or is at least humorous. it's neither; it's just juvenile and idiotic!Huzefa Kapasi wrote:actually, this reminds me of an old jock. i'll post the jock in the jokes-thread tomorrow. maybe i will cross post it here too.Huzefa Kapasi wrote:i made a phrase! i made a phrase! outside a pizza hut shop: WE NEED THE DOUGH.Jebediah Mburuburu wrote:gowNDer, "gaining access" is a phrase i made up to describe the reason for the ingratiating behaviour seen here, most often by the middle-aged, balding uncals towards the aunTties. if you have any creativity or humour in you, make up your own phrases.Marathadi-Saamiyaar wrote:Jebediah Mburuburu wrote:

Achachan, I didn't say you had any interest. I said you were feeling neglected.

Re: a question about indian athletics
the answer: henry rebello of bangalore and madras. he was a triple jumper, and was favoured to win the gold medal in that event at the london olympics in 1948.
that was india's first entry into the olympics as free india. rebello was then only nineteen. his bid for gold ended in tragedy; in his first jump, he tore his hamstring and had to be carried back on a stretcher. he abandoned his athletics career after that.
rebello graduated from loyola college, madras, joined the indian air force, and retired as a group captain.
more about henry rebello:

india's fastest sprinter and 100 m indian record holder, eric prabhakar, who had just graduated from mcc, tambaram, was also a member of that indian contingent.
