Sunil Singh And Arjun Singh: The Heartwarming Story Of Canoe Bronze Medal Winners In Asian Games
Salam Sunil Singh, son of a fisherman, and Arjun Singh, born to a factory worker, grew up 2000km apart from each other. But there is a binding thread – an unending passion for water sports unhindered by their difficult formative years. The 24-year-old Sunil from Moirang, Manipur, and the 16-year-old Arjun, who grew up in Roorkee, combined that passion to land India a bronze medal in men's double canoe 1000m event at the Asian Games on Tuesday, a first for the country since the 1994 event.
