Coach Ranvir Singh's International Acclaim

          Coach Singh was instrumental in helping me to attain All American status in the triple jump. He was a brilliant field events technician and his talents were in high demand. In spite of having limited access to his skills, I still benefited greatly from the limited instructions I was able to receive.
          Ranvir Singh was not only a great coach at EMU, before coming to EMU and the US he had been one of India's national coaches. In fact, he has been given credit as being instrumental in developing India's greatest track athlete, Milkha Singh (no relation to Ranvir). Milkha Singh won gold medals in the 1958 and 1962 Asian Games. He also represented India in the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome and the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
          Because Ranvir was instrumental in Milkha's success, his coaching accomplishments have now been immortalized in a movie, "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" Movie Poster for
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (transl. "Run Milkha Run"). Bhaag Milkha Bhaag was a 2013 Indian biographical sports drama depicting the running career of one of Ranvir's proteges, Milkha Singh.
          In the movie, the role of Coach Singh was played by Yograj Singh (again no relation to Ranvir). In an article called "Meet Milkha's Coach" published 19 June 2013, Yograj describes his role as follows: "It’s a pretty big role. It’s about how this man discovers Milkha as an amateur, teaches him how to run with spikes and stays with him right till the time he becomes the champion of the world. There are a lot of intense scenes like Milkha’s training in Ladakh where he starts bleeding and yet his coach goads him on to run faster. The man is ruthless with Milkha, but at the same time, he loves him like his own son. There are some really lovely moments between Milkha Singh and Ranbir Singh… he touches his coach’s feet before going for a race and his coach hugs him and kisses his forehead. It’s so much like father and son." Quote above taken from "The Telegraph online".
