    From jumping over badminton net to being Asia’s best athlete: The story of Gurbachan Singh Randhawa

    Gurbachan Singh Randhawa, born in a small Punjab village called Nangli in , had never walked on an athletics track till he was about 12 years old. Like his father, he used to play football and volleyball as a child. Then, one day, as he was heading for a drink of water after playing, his life changed.

    As he was walking, he came across a badminton net in his path. “Instead of going under the net, I jumped over it,” he said. One of his school’s physical trainers saw this stunt and summoned him over. “I thought I was going to get punished and braced myself for a beating.”

    Instead, the coach asked him to jump over the net again. “He told me I had jumped over a five-foot net,” Randhawa said. “I did not know what the height was. I just jumped over it without thinking.” He obeyed his teacher and jumped over the net again. Like that, a fruitful career in track and field was born.
